A rip current statement was issued by the National Weather Service on Tuesday at 3:36 a.m. valid for Wednesday between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. for Dukes and Nantucket counties.
The weather service describes, “Dangerous rip currents expected.”
“Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water,” comments the weather service. “Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t 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.”
