Notify NYC - Risk of Rip Currents

Notification issued 8/22/2025 at 2:23 AM. Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people entering the surf zone until 8/23 at 8:00 PM. Please refrain from swimming on red-flagged beaches where a lifeguard is not present. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. If you are caught in a rip current, do not swim against the current. Instead, relax and float, or if possible, swim parallel to the shoreline.  For the latest on Rip Current Risks: https://www.weather.gov/beach/okx
