Rip Current Statement issued June 21 at 3:22PM EDT until June 22 at 9:00PM EDT by NWS Upton NY * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...Kings (Brooklyn), Southwest Suffolk, Southern Queens and Southern Nassau Counties. * WHEN...From Monday afternoon through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...Life threatening rip currents are likely for all people entering the surf zone late in the day. Anyone at the beaches after about 5 PM should stay out of the surf as lifeguards go off duty. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The rip current risk will be moderate for much of the day on Monday, then increase to high late in the day as onshore winds increase to 20 to 25 mph and seas build to 4 to 5 feet. The high risk may continue into part of Tuesday morning. If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and yell or wave for help.
