Blind Creek Beach North, Florida
Beach in St. Lucie County, FloridaRip Current Statement, in full · Every severe alert
* WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 7 to 12 feet expected in the surf zone. * WHERE...The beaches of Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie, and Martin Counties. * WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through late Monday night. For the High Surf Advisory, from 11 PM this evening to 4 AM EDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to large breaking waves and dangerous surf conditions. 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 jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
