  expect 4 to 6 foot breaking waves in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie,
  and Martin Counties.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions. Rip
  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. 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.
