| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Another active day was reported on the 30th with regards to water rescues along the New Jersey coast as a continued onshore component led to a higher, generally moderate risk of dangerous rip currents. In fact, this last weekend in August, extending from Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th, proved to be a very busy weekend for area beach patrols with a high number of rescues performed throughout the two to three day stretch. Of note, at 11:30 a.m. EDT on the 30th, a major rip current rescue occurred in Long Beach Township (Ocean County) off 82nd Street. Reports indicated that area lifeguards were outnumbered for a time by the number of victims in the water. As a result, the area police department was called for assistance, and special water rescue equipment was on call.||In addition to this incident, several beach patrols along the New Jersey coast reported numerous rescues occurring from Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th, with a total of 140 rescues by the Beach Haven Beach Patrol and 42 total rescues by lifeguards at Harvey Cedars during this three day stretch. Also, on Sunday the 30th alone, lifeguards rescued 21 people at Ship Bottom, 7 people at Barnegat Light and 2 people at Surf City, with multiple rescues having previously occurred at these locations on the 28th and 29th. |
