SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — Forecasters are
predicting a high risk for rip currents along the New Jersey coast Monday.
Wave heights of 3 to 5 feet are possible as Tropical Storm Leslie continues
to churn the ocean.
Seaside Heights police closed the beaches on Sunday evening after two water
rescues.
Police Detective Steve Korman tells the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/UDYeB9 ) an 18-year-old
Basking Ridge man and a 21-year-old man from Far Hills were pulled from the surf
after they got caught in a rip current.
A 28-year-old woman from New Rochelle, N.Y., and a 30-year-old woman from
Albany, N.Y., managed to reach shore after they were gripped by a rip current
three hours later.
