Hurricane Erin Could Bring Life Threatening Surf, Rip Currents to Southeast U.S.

Hurricane Erin creates waves of five to eight feet and dangerous rip currents, prompting Martin County Ocean Rescue to advise only experienced swimmers to enter guarded beaches.

  • On the Treasure Coast, flat conditions will shift dramatically next week as Hurricane Erin generates rough surf and rip current risks, forecasters say.
  • While moving through the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Erin remains well offshore yet still impacts coastal waters, with its expansive wind field sending large swells outward, forecasters say.
  • Beach patrol advises swimmers caught in rip currents to move parallel to the shoreline before returning, and officials recommend only experienced swimmers enter the water, according to beach patrol.
  • While surfers are eager to ride the swell, many acknowledge the hazards, especially for inexperienced swimmers, as rip current risks will be high, making swimming extremely hazardous.
  • Forecasters say rip current risks will climb sharply Tuesday through Thursday along the US East Coast as Hurricane Erin generates rough surf and hazardous marine conditions.
