  1. Rip Currents and Hurricanes

    When it comes to the beach, looks can be deceiving. That calm-looking water to the side of big crashing waves may actually be a rip current that carries water back out to the ocean. Rip currents are a result of conservation of mass; just as waves carry water to the shore, something has to carry that incoming water back out to the ocean. Depending on the local topography, that outflow could be below the water surface, creating an undertow, or along the surface, as a rip current.

    Even when far offshore, hurricanes can trigger unexpected and strong rip currents, largely because they create bigger waves that travel shoreward. Those waves can also change the depth and layout of the underwater shoreline, potentially exacerbating rip currents.

  11. #ALwx ⚠️HIGH RISK of #RipCurrents continues for the coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches.

    🔴KNEE DEEP IS TOO DEEP. For your safety, STAY OUT OF THE GULF WATERS!

    🌊Dangerous rip currents will persist at the local beaches through at least Saturday.

    🌴 Be #BeachSmart, Y'all!
