OCEAN CITY, Md. – With temperatures climbing into the 90’s over the weekend, many beachgoers in Ocean City were tempted into the water. “We already saw it this past weekend. The beaches – people were saying it looked like July on the beaches this weekend,” said Ocean City Beach Patrol Captain Butch Arbin.
But with rough currents and cold temperatures, public safety officials say it’s better to play it safe and stay out of the surf until a lifeguard is on hand. Ocean City Fire Department Chief Richard Bowers says the motto for this week is to keep your feet in the sand until a lifeguard is in the stand. “You may think you’re a good swimmer, but the ocean has a mind of its own,” said Chief Bowers.
