TYBEE ISLAND — Tybee Island Ocean Rescue has raised red flags at the beach today, warning of dangerous surf and rip currents on Memorial Day.
What’s Happening: Red flags mean the water is considered dangerous. Rip currents are fast-moving channels of water that pull swimmers away from shore and are one of the leading causes of drowning at ocean beaches.
What’s Important: Officials are urging anyone heading into the water to swim only near a lifeguard, keep a close eye on children, and stay out of the water altogether if they are not a confident swimmer.
The Path Forward: Live beach conditions and lifeguard locations are available at safebeachday.com/tybee-island.
