Hurricane Erin is expected to move north along the US coast over the next 72 hours. Large swells from Erin will impact the coastline for much of this week, producing life-threatening rip currents, high surf, coastal flooding, and hazardous marine conditions
Ocean conditions have been deemed red flag—meaning the water is extremely dangerous, and swimming and other ocean activies are strongly discouraged. The beach accesses and beach strand will remain open.
