The search continued Friday morning for the third person. News 12 reported the person is a man in his 20s.
The Manasquan Coast Guard Station Friday morning asked boaters to stay clear of the inlet to give time and space to rescue crews and investigators collecting debris.
Waves were expected to reach 8-10 feet along the coast Friday as a result of Hurricane Lee, which is making its closest pass to New Jersey, according to New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow.
