“If you’re in the water and something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t,” Cox says. Maybe the current is starting to get rough, a storm is approaching, or your body is struggling to keep up (due to muscle cramps, fatigue, exhaustion). Get out of the water and come back another day. “If you’re up against a tide, relax, and slow down,” Marsh advises. “Don’t try to fight nature, as this will tire yourself unnecessarily—and the tide will likely change in minutes.”
