Hurricane Erin is still at sea, but her wrath is hitting New York and New Jersey in the form of dangerous rip currents that have shut down beaches. Waves could reach up to 13 feet at some beaches, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Hurricane Erin is causing dangerous rip currents and high surf at beaches along the East Coast, and some areas could see coastal flooding over the coming days. The flood risk increases Thursday, when high waves coincide with high tide along the Jersey Shore and New York's south-facing beaches.

High surf and dangerous rip currents are likely. People are advised to stay out of the water this week, even when a lifeguard is on duty.
