THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST FACING BEACHES OF THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND WESTERN FLORIDA BIG BEND. A RIP CURRENT IS A STRONG NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH THROUGH THE SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...WADE SIDEWAYS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF ITS PULL. TO ESCAPE...RIDE THE CURRENT OUT BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM TO SHORE OUTSIDE THE NARROW CURRENT. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
