.rip current risk category...
* low risk - the risk for rip currents is low, however,
life-threatening rip currents often occur in the vicinity of the
south padre island jetty. remember to swim near a lifeguard.

* moderate risk - life-threatening rip currents are possible in
the surf zone. remember to swim near a lifeguard and with a
non-inflatable flotation device, such as a life jacket or boogie
board.

* high risk - life-threatening rip currents are likely in the
surf zone. a high risk means that surf zone conditions are
dangerous for all swimmers.
