From ABC News Headquarters in New York City, this is GMA3.

We do begin today with a warning for beachgoers about rip current dangers.

After a young father was killed off the coast of New Jersey, Ike Jocci is at Rockaway Beach with the latest there.

Hey, Ike.

Hey, Jeanne. Officials say there is a moderate rip current risk right here at the Rockaway

Beach, which means there's a chance for life-threatening rip currents right here by the

surf zone. Now, of course, this warning comes on the heels of multiple deadly incidents along

the shore all up and down the northeast. Now, take a look at this video. This is in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, where drone video shows the dramatic moments when members of the fire department scuba team racing on jet skis to rescue five distressed swimmers, all part of the same group who were caught in a rip current. Now witnesses say they couldn't believe anyone would try to swim in the water at that time because of how rough it looked.

Authorities say a 16-year-old was seriously hurt and his 31-year-old father did not survive.

Now, officials say the group didn't speak English, which could have played a factor into the group not heating warning signs in the area.

Now, long before that, rescue another incident right here in New York City,

a 77-year-old grandmother, Ludmila Marshenko,

she was spotted off Brooklyn's Manhattan Beach,

citizen app video showing her being raced to an ambulance

where she was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Now in both of these incidents, lifeguards

had just left for the day.

In response, local officials, they are putting up multilingual warning signs and all kinds

of alerts up and down the beaches here in the Northeast. And they are asking everybody to please

stay out of the water if lifeguards are not present, Janae. Oh, it hurts your heart to hear

that, Ike. You go to the beach to have a good day, to, it hurts your heart to hear that, Ike.

You go to the beach to have a good day to relax, have fun.
