Hurricane Erin won't make landfall in the U.S., but it will bring dangerous rip currents to the East Coast. Beachgoers from Florida to the Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic to Long Island need to be on alert for rip currents from Erin this week. A rip current, which flows out toward the ocean, can quickly pull a swimmer away from the shore.

South Florida is not forecast to see direct impacts from Hurricane Erin, but rip currents and surf up to 6 feet, especially along Palm Beach, are likely.
