    Rip Current Statement - 4:11am Sun Jul 19 2026

    ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

    WHAT: Dangerous rip currents.

    WHERE: Pinellas, Coastal Hillsborough, Coastal Manatee,
    Coastal Sarasota, Coastal Charlotte and Coastal Lee Counties.

    WHEN: From 6 AM this morning through 8 PM Monday.

    IMPACTS: Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
    from shore into deeper water.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    There is a high risk of rip currents.

    Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
    from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
    sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
    and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
    signs.

    If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
    calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
    help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
    shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
    swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
