Caught in a Rip Current? Here's how to survive... Relax, stay calm, and float to conserve energy. Do not swim against the current. Swim out of the current by following the shoreline/beach or breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach. If you can't reach the beach, call or wave for help! For more information, visit our social media pages at Facebook and X pages or listen to a NOAA Weather Radio. Stay weather aware!
