When Looks Can Be Deceiving: Late Season Beach Safety

  • By AMS Staff

Bruckner Chase

Early fall can bring beautiful clear skies, warm water temperatures, and “perfect beach conditions.” But looks can be deceiving. Offshore storms, including hurricanes, can bring about rip currents, large waves, and quickly changing conditions at the same time that beaches are reducing or ending their lifeguard coverage for the season. Renowned beach safety expert Bruckner Chase will highlight how to stay safe when enjoying the surf this fall season, including updated safety messaging from his work with NOAA. He will also discuss drowning statistics for 2024 and the difficulty of documenting the extent of beach hazards.

This webinar will provide important resources for weather communicators as well as anyone with coastal beach interests.
