      Yeah, they’re usually marked, but ocean temp changes a lot of shit and you can run across ones with zero signage.

      I’d imagine Florida is especially bad because they refuse to believe in climate change and anything connected to it.

      So I can see them defunding the organizations meant to keep this updated and people safe

        Our beaches typically have easily-overlooked static signs warning of rip currents. And the local news stations will report on the conditions if there is a risk. But ya, I would love to see some kind of programmatically updated signage at beach entries with conditions, might save some lives.
