[SEMCO] Rip Current Advisory

[Sheri DeRosa]

Due to distant hurricanes that are moving northeast, away from New 
England, the National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Advisory 
for parts of Massachusetts, including the Cape and Islands. The high 
surf may lead to the formation of rip currents, powerful currents that 
can pull even experienced swimmers away from shore.

To learn more about rip currents, including how to identify them and 
what to do if you find yourself in one, visit 
http://www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov/tips.shtml. The site also includes rip 
current signs and brochures that can be printed (PDFs).
