While these trips are fun, beach-goers always should keep safety in mind. Already this year several deaths in the state have been attributed to rip currents.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina Sea Grant&#8217;s rip current expert, Spencer Rogers offers key reminders to all who visit the beach:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rip currents are powerful \u2014 and can pull even strong swimmers far away from the shore.<\/li>\n<li>Never swim alone. Do not allow children to swim or play in surf alone.<\/li>\n<li>If in doubt, don\u2019t go out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=9&amp;v=uOoW2iD4NYg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11280 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-03-at-10.03.24-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-03-at-10.03.24-AM.png 508w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-03-at-10.03.24-AM-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>To spot a rip current, look for:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A narrow gap of darker, seemingly calmer water between areas of breaking waves and whitewater.<\/li>\n<li>A channel of churning, choppy water.<\/li>\n<li>A difference in water color.<\/li>\n<li>A line of foam, seaweed or debris moving seaward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How to Survive a Rip Current<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Relax. Rip currents don\u2019t pull you under.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t swim against the current.<\/li>\n<li>You may be able to escape by swimming out of the current in a direction following the shoreline. Or swim toward breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach.<\/li>\n<li>You may be able to escape by floating or treading water if the current circulates back toward shore.<\/li>\n<li>If you feel you will be unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself: Yell and wave for assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rogers suggests having a cell phone with you for emergencies. Text all in your group to ensure they have the street address or beach access point identified. &#8220;But your focus should be on loved ones who are with you, not on posting photos or videos from the beach,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n<p>These \u2014 and other tips listed below \u2014 are part of an ongoing campaign by a task force that includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Lifesaving Association, and experts in National Weather Service forecast offices and Sea Grant programs around the nation.<\/p>\n<h3>Safety Mission<\/h3>\n<p>For Rogers, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal construction and erosion specialist, increasing awareness of rip currents in the surf zone has been a 40-year mission \u2014 one that includes research and partnerships at the local, state, national and international levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a critical issue. There&#8217;s a never-ending flow of new beach visitors unfamiliar with rip currents,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11191\" style=\"width: 177px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11191\" src=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/spencer_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/spencer_cropped.jpg 1265w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/spencer_cropped-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/spencer_cropped-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/spencer_cropped-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 177px) 100vw, 177px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spencer Rogers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rogers is a founding member of the national task force that recently released updated rip current safety materials, including a main graphic, as well as a sign and brochure with tips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new edition is about the fifth generation of rip current signs and educational materials,\u201d explains Rogers, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal construction and erosion specialist.

They typically extend from near the shoreline, through the surf zone and past the line of breaking waves.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina Sea Grant, with NOAA and the U.S. Lifesaving Association, share the following reminders:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rip Precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only swim at a beach with lifeguards. The chances of drowning at a beach with lifeguards are 1 in 18 million, according to USLA.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t assume! Great weather for the beach does not always mean it\u2019s safe to swim or even play in the shallows. Rip currents often form on calm, sunny days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Before You Go<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the local National Weather Service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/safety\/ripcurrent-forecasts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surf zone forecasts.<\/a> NWS forecast offices serving N.C. beach communities participate, as do many others around the nation, including in the Great Lakes region. You also can ask your hotel or rental agency for sources of reliable information from local officials.<\/li>\n<li>Know how to swim BEFORE you venture in. Swimming in a pool is NOT the same as swimming at a surf beach with crashing waves, winds and dangerous currents. Changing ocean currents and winds can quickly exhaust your energy and strength.<\/li>\n<li>Know your location: Street address or beach access point. 911 operators will not know the name\/location of your rental house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>At the Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the beach safety signs at the entrance to the beach. Once on the beach, look for warning or surf status flags that some communities post.<\/li>\n<li>Talk with the lifeguard. Before jumping in, make sure you are aware of the water\u2019s conditions.<\/li>\n<li>Know where life ring or flotation device stations are located. Better yet, bring your own!<\/li>\n<li>Never let children swim alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How to Help Someone Else<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t become a victim while trying to help someone else!<\/li>\n<li>Get help from a lifeguard.<\/li>\n<li>If a lifeguard is not present, call 9-1-1, then try to direct the victim to swim following the shoreline to escape.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, throw the rip current victim something that floats.<\/li>\n<li>Never enter the water without a flotation device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Additional Online Resources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For more materials and information related to rip current safety, visit NOAA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/safety\/ripcurrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rip current website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/media\/safety\/rip\/Rip_Currents_Sign4-20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rip current sign<\/a> can be printed or shared electronically.<\/li>\n<li>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/media\/safety\/rip\/rip_brochure_51419b.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rip current brochure<\/a> is available for download.<\/li>\n<li>The NOAA website also has beach safety materials in other languages.<\/li>\n<li>North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/ripcurrents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rip Currents page<\/a> contains research results and other information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Videos<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Greg Dusek with NOAA\u2019s Ocean Service completed his doctorate in North Carolina and conducted rip current research off the coast.
