A message about ocean safety:
As the lifeguards like to say, if in doubt, don't go out. And speaking of lifeguards, it's always good to consult a lifeguard about ocean conditions before entering the ocean. Our ocean changes daily. That beautiful, placid lake you might remember from a summer vacation years ago could be a big wave surfer's dream come true during a different time of year. Here are some basic safety tips to keep in mind:
| 1. |
Swim at lifeguarded beaches only. |
| 2. |
Spend a minimum of twenty minutes observing ocean conditions before hitting the water. Waves come in sets, and the ocean may appear calm between sets of waves. |
| 3. |
Be observant of wet rocks. They are an indication of how far the water may run up on the beach. |
| 4. |
Do not fight a rip current, if you get caught in one. Go with it. Wait for the current to dissipate; then, swim back to shore. |
| 5. |
Watch river mouths and stream openings for strong currents. |
| 6. |
Use the buddy systems. Do not swim alone. |
