Powerful Hurricane Erin to create big waves, rough surf along US East Coast
Hurricane Erin will spare the U.S. East Coast a direct landfall, but will stir up life-threatening surf conditions along the entire Atlantic Coast from Florida to Canada's maritime provinces. Emergency officials and the National Weather Service are pleading with people to use caution and stay out of the water at the beach to avoid hazardous rip currents that often cause deaths during offshore hurricanes. "Knee deep is too deep," said Andrew Shashy, a meteorologist with the Jacksonville weather service office in Florida. Erin's influence over conditions at the coast is increasing because the hurricane is "expected to grow rather dramatically in size,' National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan said during an Aug. 18 briefing. 'This is going to make for very dangerous marine conditions across all of the western Atlantic, and increase the risk for dangerous and life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across almost the entire U.S. East Coast." What are rip currents? Rip currents are narrow, strong currents that flow quickly away from shore, often perpendicular to the shoreline. Typically, the water carried toward the tideline by waves flows back out to sea in a uniform way. But a low spot in the ocean, a channel gouged down into the sand on the ocean surface, or a break in a sandbar, can disrupt that flow and push water through the spot to create a current much more powerful than the surrounding flow. The speed of that flow can be as much as 5.5 mph – faster than even an Olympic swimmer. The strength and speed can overpower even strong swimmers. 'These are going to be situations where you're not going to want to be in the ocean, and you're going to want to heed any precautions given by your local officials,' Brennan said. 'Even though the weather can be nice at the coast, it can still have dangerous surf and rip current conditions from a hurricane that's well offshore, like we're going to Erin.' The highest one-third of its waves could exceed 20 to 30 feet, and even 50 feet near the storm's center, he said. Surf zone fatalities So far in 2025, at least 25 rip current deaths have been reported by the weather service, as well as four deaths from high surf. There have been at least 52 total deaths in the surf zones, including other hazards, such as sneaker waves and longshore currents. Ten deaths were reported in Florida, six in Puerto Rico, three in Texas, two each in South Carolina and Hawaii and one each in Guam and North Carolina. Throughout 2024, there were a total of 73 reported deaths, and there were 91 deaths in 2023, according to weather service data. Over a 10-year period, about 10%-15% of all deaths in tropical storms and hurricanes were attributed to rip currents, according to the hurricane center. Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration launched a new public safety campaign, "Blue IQ," focused on hazards in the surf. Storm surge also a threat with Hurricane Erin Even though Hurricane Erin will be centered some 300 miles off North Carolina's Outer Banks, it's expected to have significant impacts, including storm surge and large waves. The hurricane center is predicting a surge of 2 to 4 feet along the Outer Banks, and 1 to 3 feet in other nearby locations. Erin's massive wind field is stirring up seas of 10 feet or more across 500 miles of the ocean. With 15- to 20-foot waves expected in the surf zone and potential overwash on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21, parts of the Outer Banks were ordered to begin evacuating on Aug. 18. In some places, Highway 12 though the Outer Banks is expected to be impassable for several days, the National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City, North Carolina said. In South Carolina and Georgia, Erin's center is expected to pass the coast about 400 miles offshore, close enough to stir up large swells and wave heights of more than 5 feet in the surf zone, with higher-than-normal tides on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21. Rip current safety Even when there's not a storm offshore, rip currents can be a threat. When swimming is allowed, heeding safety guidelines can save lives. Erik Heden, a warning coordination meteorologist for the weather service in Newport/Morehead City, North Carolina, offers the following tips for beach safety: ◾Pay attention to the beach flags and warnings from local officials. ◾Always swim at a life-guarded beach. ◾Always know your location when you're at the beach, so you can tell 911 operators. ◾If someone is caught in a rip current, call 911 immediately. ◾Instead of going in after someone, give them directions from shore, or throw them a floatation device. ◾Know the forecast before you get in the water.

What Hurricane Erin will mean for Virginia, Maryland and Delaware beaches
BETHANY BEACH, Delaware — Hurricane Erin will pass well offshore the Mid-Atlantic but close enough to generate strong winds and dangerous seas and surf for Virginia, Maryland and Delaware beaches, particularly Wednesday and Thursday. Conditions may remain perilous into the weekend — upending plans for scores of local residents who may typically be vacationing in the area — and many beaches are already closed. The National Weather Service is warning that both Erin and a zone of high pressure north of the storm will funnel wind and water into the coast, generating multiple hazards that include life-threatening rip currents, waves over eight feet, periods of tidal flooding and beach erosion. High winds — with gusts exceeding 35 mph — are also possible. Tropical storm watches are in effect for coastal waters from Virginia Beach to Fenwick Island, Delaware, including Ocean City, Maryland. The winds will probably be strongest late Wednesday into Thursday. Erin is a large and growing hurricane. Even though its core will pass far offshore, tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles from its center, and by Thursday will expand farther. But water will pose a bigger threat than the wind. The Weather Service is forecasting peak waves of 6 to 10 feet along the Delaware beaches and 8 to 12 feet for the Maryland and Virginia beaches, with wave heights peaking late Wednesday into Thursday. 'Very dangerous swimming and surfing conditions are expected, as well as the wave action resulting in significant beach erosion,' the Weather Service wrote in a beach hazard statement. 'Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and back injuries.' Offshore, waves are forecast to reach 10 to 15 feet. As the water piles up along the coasts, areas of at least minor to moderate coastal flooding are likely to develop — especially near high tide Wednesday and Thursday. Toward Virginia Beach, where Erin will pass slightly closer, major flooding could occur for a time. It may take until early next week for seas to return to normal and become safe for swimming and boating.

More weather: ➡️ | ⚠️ | 🗺️ Live Radar | 📧 Extreme Heat Watch Under the extreme heat watch that will be in place from Thursday morning into Friday night, high temperatures are expected to reach 100 to 114 in San Diego County and Southern California deserts and 90 to 99 degrees in the mountains. Hazy skies and poor air quality in San Diego from wildfires Extreme Heat Warning An extreme heat warning has been issued from 10 a.m. Wednesday through 8 p.m. Friday for portions of southwest Arizona and parts of southeast and Southern California like Imperial County, Ocotillo, Joshua Tree and more. Overexposure of extreme heat can cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion which can lead to heat stroke, so the National Weather Service advises to wear loose-fitting and lightweight clothing, to avoid strenuous exercise during the heat of the day and to keep an eye out for signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion. Could California be in store for a drought? What you need to know Chances of Rain Also, as monsoonal moisture makes its way in from the southeast, there is a chance for thunderstorms from Thursday through Sunday in the mountains and deserts. However, the National Weather Service reports the humidity from the monsoons will limit nighttime cooling, so it will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s in the deserts at night. In extreme temperatures, it is advised to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air conditioning, stay out of the sun and check on relatives and neighbors. Do not leave children or pets in unattended vehicles as the inside of the car will reach temperatures that can kill within minutes. Cool Zones open across San Diego County as triple-digit heat expected Air Quality The air quality across much of San Diego County, Southern California and Baja California was moderate (yellow) on Monday due to wildfires burning across the region.
