More than 100 people die from rip currents each year.
Weather service officials are warning beachgoers of dangerous surf and rip currents across U.S. coasts this Memorial Day weekend.
“Coastal communities across the Southeast can expect strong and gusty winds, high surfs, in addition to life-threatening rip currents for much of the weekend,” it said. “Boating conditions will also be quite treacherous with a storm warning issued by the Ocean Prediction Center/NWS Forecast Office in Charleston for the offshore waters of the Carolinas.”
The Wilmington office highlighted Friday that approximately 80% of rip current deaths in the Carolinas are people from inland areas, including those from nearby Kentucky. The office in Miami, Florida, said Saturday that there was a high risk for the Palm Beaches and a moderate risk for Broward and Miami-Dade beaches. The Jacksonville office said Friday that windy conditions would create dangerous beach conditions and told people to stay out of the water.
