surf safety

Surf safety involves understanding ocean conditions, respecting the power of the water, and taking precautions to prevent accidents. Always check local surf reports and weather conditions before entering the water. Swim near lifeguard stations, avoid swimming alone, and be mindful of rip currents—they are powerful channels that can quickly pull you away from shore. Don’t venture into the surf if you're not confident in your swimming or surfing skills. Use proper gear, stay aware of your surroundings, and listen to lifeguards’ advice. Respect the ocean’s strength to enjoy safe, enjoyable time in the surf.
