Coastal Flood Statement Statement as of 11:52 am EDT on September 7, 2008

... High risk of rip currents in effect through this evening...

Increasing southeasterly long period swells from Hurricane Ike...
will continue to produce a high risk for rip currents through
this evening. The most likely times for these rip currents will
be several hours either side of low tide... which will be between
between 8 PM and 9 PM this evening.

A high risk for rip currents means that wind and or wave
conditions support particularly dangerous rip currents. Rip
currents that form may become life threatening to anyone entering
the surf.

Rip currents are strong narrow channels of water that flow away
from the beach. If you become caught in a rip current... remain
calm. Try to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the
force of the current... begin to swim back to the beach. Do not
attempt to swim directly against a rip current. Even a strong
swimmer can become exhausted quickly.

Always heed the advice of lifeguards. Pay attention to flags and
signs posted near beach access points and lifeguard stations.
