You may be able to find some relief from the excessive heat at the beach, depending on where you are on the Jersey Shore.

Windward Beach in Brick is a few miles inland, but even if the winds stay south, there should be some cooling effects off the river.

An early dismissal was announced for the Brick Recreational Department before it gets too hot to be outside. Even the young day-campers are feeling the heat.    

“It’s going to be really hot,” says parent Kristen Fisco. “I'm just happy the kids get to get out for a little while and actually have some fun with some friends.”

Mornings provide the best relief if you're going to be outside, and the same goes for your pets - Tom Souchek and Tom Dobko rescued greyhounds and were out for a morning walk at Windward Beach. 

“It's going to be way too hot to get them out later, so it's really, really important to get them out at least the coolest of the morning,” says Souchek.

Coming up Thursday at Windward Beach is the return of the summer concert series. Super TransAM will be performing, along with fireworks to kick off the holiday weekend.
