Dangerous rip currents will continue at all of the gulf beaches today as a residual long period onshore swell keeps surf in the 2-to-3-foot range. A return to a moderate risk of rip currents is expected by Wednesday afternoon.
Despite the sunny weather, rip currents often occur in the absence of storms. If you’re heading to the beach, take a moment to learn the beach flags. If double red flags are flying the water is closed, but the beach remains open.
