Created by the NWS Houston/Galveston WFO
High Risk of Rip Currents for Gulf-facing Beaches through 10 AM Friday. Numerous, strong, life-threatening rip currents will be possible. Rip Currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore! If you get caught, you may be able to escape by swimming in a direction following the shoreline, then at an angle toward the beach. Don’t swim against the current. If you feel you will be unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself.
