HIGH THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY
HIGH THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY...
LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM DISTANT HURRICANE HELENE WILL MAINTAIN A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC BEACHES FROM FENWICK ISLAND DELAWARE TO CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHT NORTH CAROLINA. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL BE WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS EITHER SIDE OF LOW TIDE. LOW TIDES ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC BEACHES WILL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN 2 AND 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON. AT OCEAN CITY... LOW TIDE WILL OCCUR AT 215 PM... WHILE AT VIRGINIA BEACH... LOW TIDE WILL OCCUR AT 234 PM. RIP CURRENTS ARE STRONG... NARROW CHANNELS OF WATER THAT FLOW OUT TO SEA. IF YOU BECOME CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT... REMAIN CALM. TRY TO SWIM ON A COURSE THAT IS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL YOU GET AWAY FROM THE RIP... THEN SWIM BACK TO SHORE. DO NOT TRY TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE RIP... SINCE IT CAN EXHAUST AND EVEN KILL THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.
