Never underestimate the sea

REMINDER - GOING FOR A DIP IN THE SEA? BE AWARE OF RIP CURRENTS

With some improved weather at present, there are those heading for the beaches – and even a dip in the sea - still cold though!

Each year people get into difficulties as a result of Rip Currents – some resulting in fatalities. It is best to be aware of the signs and what to do if caught in one. It is best therefore to be aware of the following.

HOW DO I TO IDENTIFY A RIP CURRENT?
A rip current is a narrow, fast-moving channel of water that starts near the beach and extends offshore through the line of breaking waves.

Spotting a rip current can be difficult, and really needs some practice. But when you go to the beach, start off by staying back from the water. Rip currents are easier to see at an elevated position, like a dune line or beach access, and then look for places where waves aren’t breaking, so flat spots in the line of breaking waves. And then also where there’s maybe foam or sediment in the water being transported away from the beach offshore.

Rip currents can occur anywhere you have breaking waves, like large sandy beaches on the open ocean. But they can also occur where you have hard structures, like jetties, or piers, or even rocks jutting out into the ocean.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF CAUGHT IN ONE?
If you do get caught in a rip current, the best thing you can do is stay calm. It’s not going to pull you underwater, it’s just going to pull you away from shore. Call and wave for help. You want to float, and you don’t want to swim back to shore against the rip current because it will just tire you out. You want to swim out of the rip, parallel to shore, along the beach and then follow breaking waves back to shore at an angle.

The west coast tends to be more hazardous due to the powerful Atlantic Ocean. Surfers and wind-surfers like this coast for its conditions and near-perfect waves, but obviously the wilder water presents a greater risk. Extra caution should be used if you plan on swimming or participating in water sports on the west coast. It is important to monitor weather warnings in these areas.

Remember there are generally no lifeguards at beaches this time of the year so take extra care.
