...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

* WHAT...A strong, southward-flowing longshore current is expected
  to develop at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today, along
  with a moderate risk for dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Brevard, Coastal Indian River,
  Coastal Saint Lucie, and Coastal Martin counties.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...The southward-flowing current could pull swimmers into
  deeper water, making them more susceptible to dangerous rip
  currents. This will also generate strong rip currents near
  piers, jetties, and reefs.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.
