With large waves and high surf, dangerous rip currents are expected during the busy Memorial Day Weekend.

Weather Forecast

The whole Memorial Day Weekend should be clear of any rain, but it will definitely be hot and humid. The breeze will be strong from the southeast leading to rip currents and large waves at the beaches.

Rip Current Risk

But if you still plan to get in the water, Cole Vaughn explains below what to do if you get caught in a rip current.
