The National Weather Service in Miami issued a Rip Current Statement for coastal Broward County and coastal Miami-Dade County at 7:01 PM on Tuesday, November 3. A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains in effect through 10 AM Wednesday, November 4.
The Weather Service says rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Both coasts also face isolated minor coastal flooding through Wednesday evening — see the Coastal Flood Statement for Broward and Miami-Dade and the rip current update for Palm Beach.
Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float and do not 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.
