HARLINGEN — Cameron County this morning re-opened seven beach access sites which had been shut down two days ago.
Citing a high risk of rip currents and very high surf associated with Tropical Storm Cindy, county officials decided to shut down access to Boca Chica Beach, Isla Blanca Park, Andy Bowie Park (County Beach Access No. 2), County Beach Access No. 3, County Beach Access No. 4, County Beach Access No. 5 and County Beach Access No. 6.
All the beach access points are now open.
High surf of between 4 and 6 feet today may make swimming dangerous, however, and there is a moderate risk of rip currents today on gulf beaches.
A heat advisory has been issued for Friday afternoon.
