...ELEVATED RIP CURRENT RISK THORUGH NOON NORTH OF OREGON INLET...

Rip currents have been observed over the last hour north of Oregon
Inlet, as low tide has occurred during the last hour. An elevated
risk of rip currents can be expected through noon, before the
threat of rip currents lessens this afternoon. If caught in a rip
current, relax and do not swim against it. Swim parallel to the
shoreline to escape the pull of the rip current. If you cannot
escape, float or tread water, and yell and wave for help. Always
swim on a lifeguarded beach, and if in doubt, stay out of the
water.
