Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNumerous and strong rip currents impacted the beaches of east-central Florida from late on September 15 until late on September 29 due to long-period swell associated with distant and very long-lived Hurricane Nadine. A 66 year old male was caught in a rip current offshore Cocoa Beach and drowned on September 16 and a 17 year old boy drowned on September 21 after being caught in a rip current offshore New Smyrna Beach. Beach Patrols across the east-central Florida coast observed rip currents throughout mid to late September and conducted numerous rescues.
