* WHAT...A strong, northward-flowing longshore current and a
  Moderate Risk of rip currents is expected..

* WHERE...All Atlantic beaches of East Central Florida, from
  Volusia to Martin County.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Breezy southeast winds will produce a strong,
  northward-flowing longshore current today. This can push
  swimmers into deeper water unexpectedly, making them more
  susceptible to dangerous rip currents.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
