Here are a few safety tips:
	Know the current day's tides. Never turn your back to the ocean. Watch for sneaker waves and rip currents. Always stay with your children. Never climb on logs or drift wood that is in the surf. Never climb cliffs or attempt to scale steep embankments.
What are the Ocean Tides?
	Tides are fluctuations of the ocean moving the water toward or away from the shore. There are two low tides and two high tides in a 24 hour period of time. Low tides are good for beachcombing, looking in tide pools and clamming. You may get information about the current day's tides by clicking on our Local Tides link. If you are a guest at Webb's Scenic Surf you may ask Jimmy Webb for the current tide information.
What are Sneaker Waves?
	A sneaker wave is a large, strong, unpredictable wave that may unexpectantly surround you. Sneaker waves have been known to knock over and carry out to sea both children and adults.
What is a Rip Current?
	These are strong currents that can pull a person out to sea while wading or swimming. If you are carried out to sea by a rip current swim parallel to the shore and eventually the surf will carry you in. The surf is too strong for you to swim directly back to shore.
