A high rip current risk is in effect from Monday morning until at least Tuesday evening at the Jersey Shore.

Lifeguards and beach officials are on high alert following two tragedies in the past two weeks.

A 13-year-old died while swimming in Belmar on Friday.

A 31-year-old man also died while in the water in Seaside Heights.

The Asbury Park Beach Patrol says that to spot a rip current, beachgoers should look for churning water, different-colored water and breaks in waves.

Anyone caught in a rip current should try not to panic and swim with the shoreline until they're out.
