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. |
