Moderate rip current risk · Cocoa Beach

Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the surf zone.

Caught in one? Don't fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you're out of it, then swim back in at an angle. If you can't, float, face the shore and wave for help.

5 of 5 broadcasting, checked 3:08 am EST. Volusia County’s own cams. Cocoa Beach and Melbourne have no camera here — no live, embeddable stream exists for either; their numbers above are unaffected. A cam marked not broadcasting is a stream that has ended: it would still play, showing whatever it was pointed at when it stopped, which is why it says so.
