Rip Current Statement

Moderate · Expected

Until 6:00 PM Tue·Issued 2:57 AM Sun Oct 25·NWS San Juan PR

Rip Current Statement issued October 25 at 2:57AM AST until October 27 at 6:00PM AST by NWS San Juan PR

Details

What: Life-threatening rip currents.

Where: Beaches along the northwest to northeast coast of Puerto Rico and Culebra.

When: Through Tuesday afternoon.

Impacts: Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

What to do

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
