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. For maximum safety...swim near a lifeguard.
Pay attention to flags and signs.

If you become caught in a rip 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 rip current...swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure centered over northern FL this morning will
lift out to the NE today as a low pressure system moves east
through the east central US. Weak ridging will remain in
place across the local area as this system passes by to the
north, then the next cold front will push into the area
Saturday night bringing rain chances, and clear out Sunday.
Highs are on track to reach into the upper 60s to mid 70s
this afternoon, with a general warming trend starting and
going through Saturday night ahead of the front. No updates
planned.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions are expected to prevail for the next 24 hours
with light northeast winds becoming northwest at 6 to 10
knots near the coast this afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...
A generally light NE flow will be in place through tonight,
then winds start to slowly veer to the E/SE into the weekend
as the next front approaches. This will move through the
area Saturday night/Sunday, with winds and seas increasing
as winds turn to the NW and N. Winds and seas subside Monday
as high pressure builds in and winds turn to the NE. Current
forecast is on track and have little change for the update.
