...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

* WHERE...Kings (Brooklyn), Southwest Suffolk, Southeast 
  Suffolk, Southern Queens and Southern Nassau Counties.

* WHEN...From Sunday morning through Sunday evening.

* 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...The afternoon and evening will likely be
  the high risk for the development of rip currents due to an
  increasing southeast swell.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
