... Moderate rip current risk in effect through Friday evening...

Persistent onshore flow and southeasterly swell will continue to
create a moderate risk of rip currents tonight and into Friday
along area beaches from Ocean City south through Corolla.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A moderate risk of rip currents means wind and or wave conditions
support stronger or more frequent rip currents... especially in
the vicinity of jetties... piers and sandbars. Only experienced
surf swimmers should enter the water. Be especially cautious with
outgoing tides which improve rip current formation.

Pay attention to flags and signs posted near beach access points
and lifeguard stations. Please be extremely cautious after
lifeguard hours... especially at night.

Rip currents are strong... narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip... then swim at an angle in to shore. Do not try
to swim back to shore directly against the rip... since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
