A high surf warning is in effect for Camden County on Saturday and Sunday – breaking waves of 7 to 8 feet are expected

The National Weather Service issued a high surf warning at 2:02 p.m. Friday, effective from 4 a.m. Saturday through 10 a.m. Sunday

The NWS adds: “Large breaking waves of 7 to 8 feet.”

“Flooding of properties, parks and roads, with only isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and local beach erosion. Currents can push even the best swimmers away from shore and into deeper water,” the NWS adds. “If travel is necessary, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take necessary measures to protect property at risk of flooding. Inexperienced swimmers should stay away from the water because of the danger. Swim near a lifeguard and do not swim against the current. If you are unable to escape the shore, shouting or waving for help entering the surf is strongly discouraged. Don’t swim against the current, follow the shore. If you are unable to escape, shout or wave.”
