Rip Current Statement
Issued: 7:42 AM Aug. 14, 2026 – National Weather Service
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Most beaches of Puerto Rico, except for protected beaches of western PR and the islands. * WHEN...Through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. &&
