The National Weather Service has issued a high rip current risk warning for south-facing beaches in New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. This advisory follows the disappearance of two teens in Queens and applies to areas such as the Rockaways, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Jacob Riis Park. Waves could reach up to 8 feet, and swimmers are urged to avoid the water, especially at beaches without lifeguards. The warning is in effect until 6/26 9:00 PM. Experts emphasize the importance of understanding rip currents and advise swimming parallel to the shoreline if caught in one. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected on Thursday.
