Beach and water conditions can change quickly. Always follow posted beach warnings, lifeguards, local authorities and beach closures.
Beach Flags — Know Before You Go.
⁎ Rip current risk forecasts are not available for all U.S. coastlines. At this time, National Weather Service rip current risk forecasts are not available for portions of the West Coast, including Northern California, Oregon and Washington, or for Hawaii. Beach Flags features that depend on these forecasts may therefore be unavailable in those areas.
