...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

* WHERE...In Alabama, Mobile Coastal and Baldwin Coastal
  Counties. In Florida, Escambia Coastal, Santa Rosa Coastal and
  Okaloosa Coastal Counties.

* WHEN...From Friday afternoon through late Sunday night.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long period swell associated with distant
  Hurricane Beryl moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula will arrive
  along area beaches by Friday afternoon. The swell in combination
  with high tidal ranges and outgoing tide in the afternoon and
  evening will favor the development of dangerous rip currents
  Friday through the weekend. Those visiting area beaches should
  familiarize themselves with the beach flag system and follow
  lifeguard instructions.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.
