Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Ritidian Point buoy overnight did not show the continued decline in the north to northeast swell as expected, so the high surf and the high risk of rip currents was extended through this afternoon. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents will be life threatening. 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. && $$ Schank
