* WHAT…A strong, southward-flowing longshore current is forecast
to develop at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today, along
with a moderate risk for dangerous rip currents.

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

* WHEN…Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS…The southward-flowing current could pull swimmers into
deeper water, making them more susceptible to dangerous rip
currents. This will also generate strong rip currents near
piers, jetties, and reefs.
