Rip Currents Continue Along Jersey Shore
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- People headed to Jersey Shore beaches on Sunday may want to stay out of the water.
That was the warning issued Sunday by forecasters, who cited rough waves and potential rip currents being spawned by Hurricane Igor.
Swimming has not been banned at any New Jersey beaches, but yellow flags have been posted at many sites to warn swimmers about the conditions.
The National Weather Service said swells kicked up by the storm will likely be in the 5- to 8-foot range Sunday. The swells are expected to build as the day progresses, and will likely continue through Monday.
Officials warned that swimmers should only be in areas where lifeguards are stationed and should not swim alone -- even if waters don't appear to be risky.
