...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... * WHAT...A developing strong southward-flowing longshore current and a moderate risk of rip currents is expected. * WHERE...The beaches of Volusia and Brevard counties. * WHEN...From this afternoon through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Northerly winds up to 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts will produce a strong southward-flowing longshore current, flowing parallel to the coastline. These currents can push swimmers into deeper water and possibly into rip currents.
Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
