PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT 
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 
530 AM EDT TUE JUN 09 2015

THIS IS THE THIRD IN A SERIES OF SEVEN DAILY SURF ZONE AWARENESS 
PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENTS BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE. 

WHILE RIP CURRENT FORECASTING IS GENERAL, BY SUMMER 2018 THERE IS 
HOPE FOR MORE BEACH SPECIFIC INFORMATION.  FORECASTS OF HOURLY RISK 
FOR THE FORMATION OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS OUT TO 4 DAYS IN 
ADVANCE, MAY BECOME AVAILABLE HERE BY SUMMER 2018.  

THIS PROBABILISTIC RIP CURRENT INFORMATION IS ALREADY BEING TESTED 
NEAR MIAMI FLORIDA.  IT IS BASED ON TOTAL WATER LEVEL, WHICH 
INCORPORATES SWELL, PERIOD, THE WIND WAVE DRIVEN BY OFFSHORE OR 
ONSHORE WINDS, AS WELL AS TIDE AND BEACH BATHYMETRY.

THAT INFORMATION COULD BECOME HELPFUL IN PLANNING YOUR USE OF THE 
BEACH FOR A PARTICULAR DAY.  STILL,  IT IS THE SWIMMER WHO NEEDS TO 
KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE A RIP CURRENT.

RIP CURRENTS CAN BE TRANSITORY. MOST ARE WEAK BUT ON MODERATE OR 
HIGH RISK DAYS,  THE CONDITIONS ARE MORE FAVORABLE FOR THE FORMATION 
OF POWERFUL RIP CURRENTS.

JETTIES AND PIERS,   ESPECIALLY ON THE SIDE WHERE THE SWELL COMES 
IN,  ARE NOTORIOUS FOR RECURRENT RIP CURRENT FORMATION AND 
DEFINITELY NOT ADVISED SWIMMING ZONES.  
 
TOMORROW WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE NATURE OF RIP CURRENTS AND  
SURVIVAL, IF CAUGHT IN ONE.
