Plenty of #SpringBreakers are in town the next few weeks and the weather will be warm the next few days. There's one hidden concern at the beaches though this week...#RipCurrents. Please swim near those lifeguard towers.#weshwx

🌊 Rip currents may be tricky to spot, sometimes shallow, and faster than an Olympic swimmer. 🔭 Identifying #RipCurrents is easier from an elevated viewpoint like a lifeguard stand, dune line, or even the beach access point. 🏝️🥥 Stay beach-savvy and be #BeachSmacml7
Tips for how to spot a rip current are provided alongside two aerial photos of strong rip currents along Pensacola Beach in 2021. Rip currents are easier to identify from an elevated vantage point such as a lifeguard stand, dune line, or even at the beach access point. Rip currents are the darker-colored channels of water with waves crashing on both sides.

🌊Rip currents can be deadly, even for the most advanced swimmers. Know what #RipCurrents are & how to escape BEFORE you enter the Gulf. This could save your life or the life of someone else. 👉STAY CALM, WAVE, YELL, and FLOAT. 🌴Be #BeachSmaweather.gov/beach/mobUFGX

🏖️Be safe on your upcoming Spring Break Beach trip! 🌴☀️ DO NOT ASSUME - Great beach weather does not always mean it's safe to swim or play in the water. 🌊 #RipCurrents often form on calm, sunny days 👉 If caught in a rip current? STAY CALM, WAVE, YELL, and FLOhbZz

🌴 BEACH REMINDER: Perfect beach weather does NOT mean perfect swimming weather in the Gulf. 🌀Tropical systems that are 100s of miles away in the Gulf can cause rough surf and deadly #RipCurrents at our beaches. 🏖️ Be #BeachSmarGOR
A map of a fictitious coastal area is shown in the background with a tropical system looming in the distance and waves heading toward the beaches. The text on the graphic reads: Distant hurricanes can be deadly. Hurricanes that are far away can still create deadly rip currents and waves. Never assume that the ocean is safe, even if the weather is nice. For maximum safety, swim near a lifeguard. Check the forecast before you go at weather.gov/beach.

⛱️☀️🥥 Do your vacation plans involve the beach? 🚩 Always look for beach warning flags, often posted on or near a lifeguard stand. 🌊 Be #BeachSmart and avoid #RipCurrenteu6
Your SAFE PLACE from RIP CURRENTS is provided alongside a visual of a lifeguard holding a flotation device under an umbrella with waves crashing in the background image. Rip currents kill over 100 beach-goers in the U.S. each year. When visiting the ocean, you are safest at beaches with lifeguards. If rip currents are forecast for the beach you're visiting, stay out of the water!
