Outlooks. Rip Current Outlooks use the following, three-tiered set of
qualifiers:
-
Low Risk of rip currents. Wind and/or wave
conditions are not expected to support the development of rip currents;
however, rip currents can sometimes occur, especially in the vicinity of groins, jetties, and piers. Know how to
swim and heed the advice of lifeguards.
-
Moderate Risk of rip currents. Wind
and/or wave conditions support stronger or more frequent rip currents. Only
experienced surf swimmers should enter the water.
-
High Risk
of rip currents. Wind and/or wave conditions support dangerous rip currents.
Rip currents are life-threatening to anyone entering the surf.
