High risk for rip currents along N.J. shore
Swimmers are advised there is a high risk for rip currents along the New Jersey shore today.
The National Weather Service says wave heights of 4 to 7 feet along with the wind pose a hazard.
A 17-year-old in Long Branch and a 10-year-old in Atlantic City were recently swept to their deaths by rip currents.
Swimmers should only go into the ocean when lifeguards are on duty.
