For the third day in a row, two ocean beaches in Spring Lake and two in Sea Girt are closed to swimming today, according to state officials.

Those beaches are at Brown and York avenues in Spring Lake and at Beacon Boulevard and The Terrace in Sea Girt, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection Web site.

When rainfall reaches at least one-tenth of an inch, bathing is automatically banned
at the four beaches because of pollution concerns linked to the outfall from Wreck Pond, which is in Spring Lake and Sea Girt.

The four beaches were also closed to swimming on Saturday, DEP spokeswoman Darlene, Yuhas said Tuesday.

All other ocean beaches with lifeguards are open today, the DEP Web site says.

Meanwhile, there is a moderate risk of rip currents today, with 4- to 6-foot waves in
the surf zone, according to the National Weather Service Mount Holly office Web site.

"A moderate risk of rip currents implies that individuals planning to enter the surf
should check with local beach patrols first,'' the Web site says. "Be sure to swim
within sight of a life guard, and never swim alone or at night.''
