Coastal Hazard Statement

  • Statement as of 4:51 am EDT on May 24, 2013


    ... High rip current risk remains in effect...

    * locations... ocean beaches of Long Island.

    * Rip current risk... high.

    * Surf height... 3 to 5 feet.

    * Lightning risk... low.

    * Timing... strongest rip current activity this morning.

    Precautionary/preparedness actions...

    Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
    from shore... which occur most often at low spots or breaks in The
    Sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins...
    jetties and piers. Talk to lifeguards and beach officials to
    learn about any surf hazards and heed their advice. Pay attention
    to flags and posted signs and swim in life guarded areas.

    If you become caught in a rip current... do not panic. Remain calm
    and begin to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the
    force of the rip 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.
