What the National Weather Service wrote
A man drowned after being swept away by rip currents at Condado Beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The man lost his life when he entered the water to rescue two of his friends.
The wider storm
Breezy easterly winds generated choppy to rough seas across the regional waters, increasing wave action along exposed beaches. As a result, life-threatening rip currents persisted along many exposed beaches in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands through the middle of March.
