We are the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol and are located on Long Beach Island, NJ. We cover a 2 mile stretch of beach front and have approximately 60 lifeguards.
Here's the @HCBeachPatrol rip current I was talking about before. You can see the strength of the current going from the shore! If you're in this, don't fight it, call for help (like Randy's A+ team).
This will be the best beach day until probably Sunday. Rip currents are still few and far between but @HCBeachPatrol sent me a video of rips already in the water. Enjoy 🏖️ !
How'd like your beach defended by:
1️⃣ A 22 veteran of Beach Patrol?
2️⃣ A multi-time surfing champ?
3️⃣ All around nice guy?

#CupOfJoeAtHome@HCBeachPatrol and @HCPolice have been nothing but helpful to me at my time at @ThePressofAC 🏖️. Plus, they help make pretty cool videos, too 💯. There's Jersey swag to go around with this one.
Yellow flags up in Harvey Cedars. High rip current risk this weekend. Be careful if you’re headed down the shore! Check with your town to see which beaches are guarded! @6abc
Rise and shine #HarveyCedars. Yesterday we had multiple swimmers in the area of 80th St beach get caught in rip currents & have to be rescued. Never swim alone or on an unguarded beach. @HCBeachPatrol will be on Middlesex Ave today. Have a safe day! 😎 @TheSandPaperLBI
Good Thursday morning! Building swells along with an onshore wind results in a HIGH risk for dangerous rip currents through tonight. This will continue for Friday when even worse surf conditions are expected. #njwx#dewx
