A high risk of the rip currents and treacherous surf that kept local emergency teams busy all weekend will continue into tonight and for the next few days, the National Weather Service (NWS) said this morning.
The conditions are effects of Hurricane Maria, which is expected to brush North Carolina's Outer Banks before turning out to sea, according to the NWS.
Surf is expected to run from 4 feet to 7 feet high.
Nearly three dozen people were rescued from the surf over the weekend, despite warnings from police and emergency entities like the Area Network of Shore Emergency Responders (ANSWER) to stay out of the water.
ANSWERTeamNJ and Manasquan officials reported "multiple" water rescues in southern Monmouth County. Belmar mayor Matt Doherty tweeted on Sunday that the total was 35.
