  Sharks in Memorial Day forecast with 4 great whites spotted in NY, NJ waters

Go ahead, mako my day!

Sand, sun, surf, and sharks are in the local forecast for Memorial Day weekend.

At least four male great whites have been lurking in the New York-New Jersey waters recently.

Non-profit marine research group Ocearch tags and tracks the man-eaters, collecting data each time one breaks the surface, and their electronic tracker “pings.”



Here are the monsters in the neighborhood:

    Simon, a toothy 9-foot-6, 434-pound shark, surfaced on May 2, close enough to be sunbathing on Fire Island.
    Jekyll, an 8-foot-8, 395-pounder, “pinged” on May 15 near popular Long Beach Island, NJ.
    Keji, a 9-foot-7, 578-pound beast, was spotted 40 miles off Long Island on May 17.
    Frosty, a 9-foot-2 inch, 393-pound fish, pinged on May 21 off Montauk.
