TL;DR FIRST — read this if you only skim:
- Beach / water: Stay OUT of the water today — a Rip Current Statement is active for north and east facing reefs. Rip currents pull swimmers out to sea fast; the escape is to swim parallel to shore, not against the pull.
What to do: stay on the sand, do not enter the water; if you see someone in trouble, throw flotation and call 911 — do not jump in. - Heat: Hot and humid — high 86°F, but the heat index (what it actually feels like in the shade) hits 98°F.
What to do: carry water, take shade breaks at midday, watch for dizziness or cramping. - Rain: A passing shower possible today and over the weekend, but no washouts.
What to do: light rain layer or small umbrella is fine. - Typhoon / emergency: No typhoon threat right now. We’re in monsoon season, so a system could form with little warning.
What to do: keep a go-bag mentally packed (water, documents, flashlight, meds) and check the pinned Dolphin thread if anything spins up.
