Generally, a foot or less of water may flood beach chairs, umbrellas, tents, and trash cans at their usual locations. Additionally, dangerous swimming conditions will continue due to increased strength and higher frequency of rip currents. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins... jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a strong current...yell for help. Remain calm. Do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a strong current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against strong currents as you will tire quickly. && $$
