Joe Gomulka, Captain of the Seaside Park Beach Patrol, says there haven’t been any drownings, there’s been several injuries and they’ve rescued about 3 or 4 people a week.
“Go where there’s life guards and when the lifeguards leave, its time to go home,” says Gomulka.
Gomulka says shore breaks, a type of wave that breaks in very shallow water, have caused neck and back injuries at some New Jersey beaches this summer but not Seaside Park.
But Gomulka says every day there’s some type of rip current that can cause problems for inexperienced swimmers.
“If you are not ocean savvy it’s a very tricky place, you may think its nice in one particular spot, ten minutes later that spot has some type of current that’s going through there,” says Gomulka.
