ποΈπ Think rip currents only happen in the ocean? Think again.
Large lakes can produce waves, currents, and dangerous water conditions that look surprisingly similar to those found at ocean beaches.
Rip currents donβt care if the water is saltwater or freshwater.

Heading out to the coast with your favorite pool noodle? Take a second to check the Beach Flags! Beach flags are like traffic lights for the ocean, and knowing what they mean keeps the fun afloat.

π One simple item could save a life.
A pool noodle or other flotation device can help you stay afloat if you get caught in a rip current.

Broken record saying this, but dangerous swells from #BERYL will reach the Gulf Coast this weekend. This is the biggest killer. Anyone traveling to #GulfShores, #Pensacola, #Destin, #PanamaCity, etc β¦ follow all local guidance. You CAN NOT out swim a #ripcurrent. #alwx #flwx

Regardless of the upcoming forecast updates for #Beryl, rip currents will cause life-threatening beach conditions beginning late today and continuing through the weekend across much of the Gulf coast. Beachgoers should heed warning flags and the advice of lifeguards and local officials before venturing into the water.
