* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.\n \n * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Indian River, Saint Lucie, Martin, and\n Brevard Counties.\n \n * WHEN...Through late Friday night.\n \n * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away\n from shore into deeper water.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away\n from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the\n sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and\n piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and\n signs.\n \n Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip\n current, relax and float. Don\'t swim against the current. If\n able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to\n escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
