What to do

Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone, always have a floatation device with you. Don't go into the water at unguarded beaches. If caught in a rip current, relax and float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
