The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey has issued a rip current advisory that went into effect Friday at 5:39 PM and will remain active until Saturday at 8:00 PM.
Beach visitors are urged to use extreme caution when entering ocean waters during this time period due to the elevated risk of dangerous rip currents.
Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can quickly pull swimmers away from shore and into deeper waters, making them extremely hazardous for beachgoers of all swimming abilities.
