Florida, Coastal Broward County

Coastal Flood Statement

Statement as of 6:10 AM EDT on September 02, 2010

Expires 8:00 AM EDT on September 03, 2010


A 2 to 5 foot northeast swell will persist in the Atlantic waters
off the coast of Southeast Florida through the end of the week.
This swell will result in a high threat for rip currents along the
Atlantic coast beaches through Friday morning... despite the recent
decrease in wind speeds.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A rip current is a 10 to 30 yard wide channel of water that can
pull even a strong swimmer from near or inside The Sand Bar into
deeper water. Due to the life threatening dangers that these
strong currents of water pose... swimming is not advised.

If you do go into the waters... swim at guarded beaches and heed
the advice of the beach patrol. If caught in the seaward pull of
a rip current do not attempt to move directly toward shore.
Instead... move sideways across the rip current until the pull
eases.

An alternate method of escape is to let the rip current pull you
seaward 50 to 100 yards... where the force weakens... and then
swim toward the beach at an angle away from the current.
