May Forest State Park, South Carolina
State Park in Charleston County, South CarolinaRip Current Statement, in full
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...South Carolina Beaches, and Georgia Beaches. * WHEN...From Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High surf with breaking waves of 4 to 6 feet along the lower South Carolina coast and 5 to 7 feet along the Georgia coast will occur. The combination of strong northeast winds, elevated tides and large breaking waves will increase the risk for significant beach erosion. A High Surf Advisory may be issued for Tuesday and Tuesday night.
Swim near a lifeguard. 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.

The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:58 PM. The Moon is a waning crescent, 15% lit, and rises at 4:10 AM after midnight. The next new Moon is Saturday, Oct 10. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. Cloud is forecast to cover most of the night, so the sky will be hard to see. The day is 11 hours 42 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
