...RIP CURRENTS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...

THE POTENTIAL FOR RIP CURRENTS EXISTS TODAY ALONG THE NEW JERSEY 
SHORE...MAINLY FROM LONG BEACH ISLAND NORTH TO SANDY HOOK.

RIP CURRENTS TEND TO BECOME A GREATER THREAT DURING THE HOURS AROUND 
LOW TIDE.  LOW TIDE ALONG THE NEW JERSEY OCEANFRONT OCCURS AROUND 
500 PM TODAY.  AS A RESULT...THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR RIP CURRENTS 
WILL EXIST FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.

IF YOU WILL BE VISITING THE BEACH TODAY PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE 
ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL.

IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT BEGIN TO SWIM PARALLEL TO THE 
COAST UNTIL YOU ESCAPE FROM THE PULL OF THE CURRENT.  IT SHOULD THEN 
BE POSSIBLE TO SWIM BACK TO THE SAFETY OF THE BEACH.
