Rip Currents: A high risk of rip currents is in effect for Atlantic Coast beaches, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can pull swimmers away from the shore.
Safety Tips for Beachgoers:
- Swim only at beaches with lifeguards on duty.
- Pay attention to posted warning flags and signs.
- If caught in a rip current, remain calm and do not fight the current. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current, then swim back to the beach.
- Never swim alone, and keep a close eye on children and inexperienced swimmers.
Days Two Through Seven: Monday Through Saturday
Rip Currents: The elevated risk of rip currents is expected to continue through the early part of the week. Beachgoers should remain cautious when entering the water.
