Rip Currents When waves break on a beach, they push water towards the shoreline. Once that water reaches the shore, it has to find a way to get back.

Waves come in many strengths and sizes. Be very careful and pay close attention to warning flags.

Panama City Beach Flag Warning System A GREEN flag means that the water is calm. The undertow is slight to non-existent and it is safe to swim using the proper amount of caution! A YELLOW flag indicates the presence of light surf or currents and additional caution should be used while swimming in the Gulf. A RED flag indicates the presence of strong surf and currents. Swimming in these conditions is not recommended as it presents a very high hazard to all swimmers. DOUBLE RED A DOUBLE RED flag, however, means that the water is closed to the public! No one is allowed in the water when a double red flag is posted! A PURPLE flag indicates the presence of marine pest in the water such as jellyfish, stingrays or dangerous fish.

Don’t swim towards the shore. Wait until you don’t feel the rip current pulling you anymore! Rip Currents Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. They can sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea. If caught in a rip current, don’t fight it! You can’t see Rip Currents, but they’re there.

“Swim to the side to stay alive!” Rip Currents Swim to the side until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow, and a short, swim to the side will bring you to safety.
