Labor Day weekend is projected to be beautiful. However, Jersey Shore beaches have been experiencing dangerous riptides recently. This trend is expected to continue through the weekend.

Sara said at 9:45 am on August 28th, 2019:
Please use the correct terminology: *ripTIDES* only occur during ebb tide when water is pulled back to sea through a confined water space such as a bay or lagoon. Strong currents that form along beaches (regardless of the lunar tide cycle) are *ripCURRENTS.*

This is semantic, but words matter.
