Police in Avon-by-the-Sea banned swimming today until further notice. Notices attached to traffic cones, like this one in the picture posted on social media by the borough's police department, appeared after a weekend in which more than three dozen people were plucked from rough surf between Avon and Manasquan. Belmar mayor Matt Doherty tweeted on Sunday, Sept. 24, that 35 people had been rescued from the ocean off Belmar alone. The potentially lethal conditions were caused by Hurricane Maria, which is expected to brush the Outer Banks of North Carolina tomorrow before turning east and heading out to sea.
