Belleville man drowns at NJ Shore - lifeguards yet on duty

preview

&nbsp;
SPRING LAKE — A man who drowned Saturday afternoon in the chilly ocean serves as a tragic reminder that lifeguards are not yet on duty at most Jersey Shore beaches.
Spring Lake police said the Belleville was spotted having difficulty in the water off St. Clair Avenue just after 2 p.m. sending nearby officers into the water. They found a 23-year-old Belleville man floating face down in the surf.
Officers from several towns responded plus off-duty lifeguards to get the man out of the water and perform life-saving measures, according to police.
The man was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. His identity was not disclosed pending notification of family, according to police.
If the weather turns summer-like before Memorial Day towns will usually have extra police patrols near beaches to watch out for those taking their first swim of the season. Saturday it was cloudy and cold with drizzle.
"Lifeguards are not on duty for several more weeks in Spring Lake. Please do not swim in the ocean until the water is guarded," Spring Lake police wrote on their Facebook page. Rip currents and dangerous conditions are always a possibility and the conditions change daily.
The ocean temperature was a cool 57 degrees up the coast in Sandy Hook which is close to normal, according to NJ 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow.
"In addition, the wind on Saturday was blowing straight out of the east. Such an on-shore breeze usually causes an elevated risk of rough surf and rip currents," Zarrow said, adding that the National Weather Service won't begin issuing rip current warnings until Memorial Day Weekend.
