Description
What
Dangerous rip currents.
Where
Southeast Suffolk County.
When
Through Friday afternoon.
Impacts
Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out of the surf. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
Additional details
Coastal Flood Advisories will likely be needed for Friday PM and Saturday AM high tides. Localized moderate coastal flooding can also not be ruled out.
Instructions
If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and yell or wave for help.
