The crew of Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light, N.J., conducted offshore surf and heavy weather training in March 2013, as 10- to 16-foot ocean swells and surf up to 15 feet were recorded off Long Beach Island, N.J. The unit's crew members, including Surfmen, who are the Coast Guard's most highly trained boat handlers, took advantage of the heavy weather to maintain readiness and the skills required to respond to maritime emergencies.
