Rip Current Awareness On LBI, NJ
Thank You To Bob Irvine For Making "LBI Rip Current Awareness" A Priority On Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
* What Are Rip Currents?
Rip Currents are 'channeled' currents of water flowing away from or parallel to the beach. They typically occur when a channel forms between the shore and sandbar, also, near structures such as jetties and piers.
* Why Are Rip Currents So Dangerous?
Rip currents pull people away from the beach. Their speeds can vary from moment to moment and can quickly increase to become dangerous to anyone entering the surf.
* What If I'm Caught In A Rip Current?
STAY CALM. Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the shoreline - across the direction of the water flow. When free of current, swim at an angle - away from the current - toward the beach.
* Don't Become A Victim While Trying To Help Someone Else
