Coastal Flood Statement Statement as of 10:15 am EST on November 9, 2009

Sustained east winds of 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph are
possible along the East Coast beaches of South Florida today. This
will lead to strong and dangerous rip currents along the beaches
of maimi-Dade... Broward... and Palm Beach counties today. People
are not advised to go swimming in the Atlantic waters today.

Moderate beach erosion has also been reported along the East
Coast beaches of South Florida this morning from the beach patrol
lifeguards. The moderate beach erosion will continue through today
due to the strong easterly winds.

The beach patrol lifeguards at Palm Beach County have also
reported 8 foot breakers this morning along their beaches. These
breakers should continue through the afternoon hours along the
beaches of Palm Beach County.

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.

Swimming is not advised today. However... if you do go into the
water 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.
