How to Set Up a Beach Umbrella in the Wind
- Check which way the wind is blowing before you pick your spot.
- Twist the pole back and forth into the sand to make a hole about 2 feet deep.
- Set the pole in the hole, tilted slightly into the wind.
- Pack the sand back around the pole and stomp it down firmly.
- Open the umbrella and tilt the canopy so the top faces into the wind, so the wind presses it down instead of lifting it.
- If gusts pick up, close the umbrella. A loose umbrella can tumble down the beach and hurt someone.
Safety at Oceanside
- Swim near an open lifeguard tower, and ask the lifeguard about conditions before you go in.
- If a rip current pulls you away from shore, don’t fight it: swim parallel to the beach until you’re out of it, then head in, or float and wave for a lifeguard.
- Stay well clear of the pier pilings. Currents can pull you toward them and they’re crusted with sharp mussels.
