ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Stinging jellyfish, rays with their whip-like tails
and sharks on the hunt are some ocean hazards that might typically worry
beachgoers. But rip currents are the greatest danger and account for the most
beach rescues every year.

Six people drowned in rip currents over a recent two-day period in Florida,
including a couple vacationing on Hutchinson Island from Pennsylvania with their
six children and three young men on a Panhandle holiday from Alabama, officials
say.

About 100 people drown from rip currents along U.S. beaches each year, according
to the United States Lifesaving Association. And more than 80 percent of beach
rescues annually involve rip currents.

The National Weather Service lists 16 known deaths so far in 2024 from rip
currents in U.S. waters, including the Florida fatalities as well as eight
deaths in Puerto Rico and two in Texas.



Here are some things to know about rip currents:


WHAT IS A RIP CURRENT?

Rip currents are narrow columns of water flowing rapidly away from the beach,
like a swift stream within the ocean. They don’t pull swimmers under water, but
can carry them out a fair distance from shore.

Water safety: What to know before heading to the beach

Low spots along the beach, or areas near jetties or piers, are often where rip
currents form. They can be connected to stormy weather but also sometimes occur
during sunny days. They can be hard to detect because the surface water often
appears calm.



The current can flow as swiftly as eight feet per second (3.2 meters per
second), faster than even a strong swimmer can overcome, according to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“If you’re caught in one and you try to swim straight in, you’re not going to be
able to,” said Daniel Barnickel of Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue.


HOW CAN SOMEONE ESCAPE A RIP CURRENT?

The most frequent advice from beach rescue teams and weather forecasters is to
not panic and look for a chance to swim parallel to the shore until the swimmer
is out of the rip current’s grip. It will eventually dissipate but might leave
the swimmer out in deeper water.



It’s nearly impossible to fight the current directly. Many swimmers who get in
trouble tire themselves out trying to get back to the beach, lifeguards say. If
possible, it’s best to swim near a lifeguard station.

“Most of our rip current rescues happen outside the guarded areas because we’re
not there to prevent it from happening,” Barnickel said.


WHAT WARNING SYSTEMS EXIST FOR RIP CURRENTS?

Flags with different colors are used to warn beachgoers of various hazards.

Three flags warn of surf and rip current conditions. Red means a high hazard,
yellow means a moderate threat and green means low danger. There’s also purple
for dangerous sea life, like jellyfish, and double red when a beach is closed
for any reason.

The National Weather Service posts rip current risks on its websites around the
coasts and has developed a computer model that can predict when conditions are
favorable for their formation up to six days in advance for the U.S. East and
Gulf Coasts, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Guam.

“Before this, forecasters were manually predicting rip currents on a large
section of the ocean twice a day and only a day or two into the future. The
earlier prediction has potential to substantially increase awareness and reduce
drownings,” said Gregory Dusek, a NOAA scientist who developed the model, in a
post on the agency’s website.



High risk warnings were posted for most Florida beaches last week, when the
drownings occurred.


SHOULD SOMEONE ATTEMPT A RIP CURRENT RESCUE?

It can be dangerous to try to rescue someone caught in a rip current, officials
say. Often the people trying to perform the rescue can get into trouble
themselves.

It’s best to find a lifeguard, if there is one, or call 911 if a struggling
swimmer is spotted. People on shore can also try to tell the person to swim
parallel to shore.

“Never swim alone. And always make sure that there’s an adult. And make sure
that you don’t overestimate your abilities. Know your limits,” Barnickel said.
