Rip currents are present in most parts of P.E.I. National Park Thursday, with surf conditions varying from moderate to dangerous.
Surf conditions are moderate on most beaches in the park, but listed as dangerous at Greenwich. Parks Canada is reporting rip currents all along the North Shore.
Rip currents form when heavy surf pushes water up on the shore and it runs away from the beach in narrow channels. They’re too fast to swim against, and swimmers can be quickly swept offshore.
