OCEAN COUNTY, NJ - It's not shaping up to be a great weekend beach day.
The National Weather Service is forecasting gloomy skies, rough surf and a moderate risk of rip currents for Ocean County beaches.
If you can find a guarded beach, and there are some open this weekend, be sure to check with the guards about beach conditions. Never swim on an unguarded beach and never swim alone or at night. Don't be a statistic this summer.
