Rip Current in Brevard, Florida
Rip Current October 2, 2011 · Brevard, Florida
What the National Weather Service wrote
A 29 year old man was caught in a rip current and drowned as he was pulled underneath the water.
The wider storm
A long fetch of north to northeast winds developed in the wake of a relatively strong early season cold front. These brisk winds resulted in long period swells impacting the east-central Florida beaches, which subsequently produced moderate to strong rip currents along the beaches. A man at Cocoa Beach, who was last seen on a flotation device, was pulled seaward by the rip currents. Medical responders performed CPR, but the man died a short time later at Cape Canaveral Hospital.
