Map showing the Rip Current Risk, today (October 2) across the southeast and eastern U.S. The map shows Moderate to High Risk of rip currents from Florida to Maine.

Map showing the Rip Current Risk, today (October 2) across the southeast and eastern U.S. The map shows Moderate to High Risk of rip currents from Florida to Maine.

Rip Currents: Know Your Options. Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. They can sweep even the strongest swimmer away from shore. If at all possible, swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current: 1) Relax, rip currents don't pull you under. 2) Don't swim against the current. 3) Swim out of the current, then to shore. 4) If you can't escape, float or tread water. 5) If you need help, yell or wave for assistance. The image shows a rip current as a narrow flow of water moving in a line directly away from the beach, with waves on either side moving in the opposite direction towards the beach. Arrows point away from either side of the current and into the waves, parallel to the beach, indicating the path of escape from the rip current.

Heading out to the beach today? ⛱️

Use extra caution given the Moderate to High rip current risk from Florida to Maine today (October 2). Try to find a beach with lifeguards - and when in doubt, don't go out!
