Red flags are flying at ocean beaches up-and-down the Jersey Shore, indicating a high risk of rip currents.

Despite the beautiful weather forecast sunny and warm, with low humidity it would be a wise idea to stick to the sand and stay out of the downright dangerous ocean waves Sunday, New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow said.

Six to eight-foot waves will batter the beaches Sunday, with conditions improving very slowly as the day progresses.
