RED FLAGS

The most serious of all beach warning flags, red flags warn swimmers of serious hazards in the water. One red flag means that the surf is high or there are dangerous currents, or both. Though you can still swim if there is a red flag, you should use extreme caution and go in the water only if youโ€™re a strong swimmer. Two red flags, however, means that the water is closed to swimming, as conditions are too dangerous for even the strongest swimmers. In some communities, red flags feature the symbol of a swimmer with a white line through it, indicating that swimming is prohibited.

Right. Do follow you, anon. Worth pondering. Also potentially worth noting that a red flag was pirate code for "no mercy."

 

However, the context of it being on a beach is a compelling argument that it refers to rough water.

I live right by the Columbia River somewhere along the stretch that runs due North on the WA side. Geological evidence shows the 1701 quake did nasty stuffโ€“like blocking the river entirely for a while and radically changing its course in places.
