RIP CURRENTS

RIP CURRENT AWARENESS WEEK
was June 5th - 11th, 2012


New York Surf Zone Forecast
(Memorial Day - Labor Day Only)



Rip Current Risk Definitions A LOW RISK of rip currents implies that wind and/or wave conditions are not expected to support the development of rip currents. However...rip currents can still occur...especially in the vicinity of groins...jetties and piers. Know how to swim and heed the advice of beach patrol. A MODERATE RISK of rip currents implies that wind and/or wave conditions support the development of stronger and/or more frequent rip currents. Please swim only in life guarded areas. A HIGH RISK of rip currents implies that wind and/or wave conditions support the development of very strong rip currents. These rip currents will be life threatening to anyone who enters the surf.
