PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. \u2014 The Local 10 News Weather Authority asked beachgoers this Memorial Day weekend in South Florida to beware of dangerous rip currents<\/a> that can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore and into deeper water. <\/p>\n

The National Weather Service warned<\/a> of a high risk<\/a> of rip currents from Sunday morning through Tuesday evening along both coastal Broward and Miami-Dade counties.<\/p>\n

With seas running 3 to 5 feet and winds over 20 knots from the east, there was also a small craft caution warning for boaters in the area.<\/p>\n

Safety tips for rip current risk<\/p>\n

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. When you are able to swim, move in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. <\/p>\n
