Swimmers at the New Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches on Tuesday were advised to be cautious because of a high risk for rip currents, the National Weather Service said.
The currents can quickly pull swimmers out to sea.
Swimmers are advised to obey lifeguards.
If caught in a rip current, swimmers should float and try to swim in the direction following the shoreline, the weather service said.
