NJ beach weather & waves: Jersey Shore Report for Aug. 25, 2025

Advisories

HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone, always have a floatation device with you and swim near a lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY in effect until 10 p.m. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller
vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.
