Alertes en vigueurHobe Sound Wildlife Refuge, FL

What: A developing strong southward-flowing longshore current and a moderate risk of rip currents is expected.
Where: The beaches of Indian River, Saint Lucie, and Martin counties.
When: From this afternoon through late tonight.
Impacts: Northerly winds up to 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts will produce a strong southward-flowing longshore current, flowing parallel to the coastline. These currents can push swimmers into deeper water and possibly into rip currents.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
