The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey has issued an advisory warning of dangerous rip current conditions affecting coastal areas.
The safety alert went into effect early this morning at 2:24 AM and will remain active until 8:00 PM today, May 23rd.
Beachgoers are urged to exercise extreme caution when entering ocean waters during this period, as rip currents pose serious risks to swimmers of all skill levels.
Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water that can quickly pull swimmers away from shore and into deeper waters.
