Teens Save Three From Rip Current In Seaside Heights: Report Says

Three men who were caught in a rip current on Saturday morning were saved by two teenagers who heard them screaming, according to NBC4 New York.

Thomas Bicurro, 15, and Nikolas Devoe, 14, a Central Regional High School freshman, were headed to the beach in Seaside Heights on Saturday morning when they heard people screaming.

They donned their wetsuits and headed into the water. A third person helped as they dragged the men out of the water. The National Weather Service has been predicting a moderate risk of rip currents most of the past week and surf temperatures of around 62 degrees.

Most of the beaches along the Jersey Shore are not fully staffed by lifeguards yet. Seaside Heights began guarding its beaches on Memorial Day, but start at 9 a.m, said Jay Boyd.

The mother of one of the teens teared up, but was not surprised at his son’s heroism.

“He just automatically acted, he aspires to be a lifeguard,” she said.
