On Sunday at 4:25 a.m. the National Weather Service released an updated rip current statement valid between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. for Essex, Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket counties.
The weather service states, “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.”
