Rip currents

With Nicole moving out to sea, the Space Coast is again back to business. However, the threat of rip currents always exists. In fact, 80% of all rescues performed by lifeguards involve rip currents. Annually, over 100 deaths are attributed to them. As with most things in life, knowledge is key. For a great explanation of rip currents, check out NOAA. And for daily reports on rip currents (and surfing conditions!), put Surf Guru on your favorites list. Their webcams are my lunch-hour vacations!
