As Hurricane Erin moves closer to the East Coast, it's stirring up powerful and dangerous rip currents that will affect our beaches and shore points.While the storm isn't making landfall, it's generating strong swells that are forecasted to build waves between 8 and 12 feet.

Hurricane Erin is expected to bring dangerous surf at the Jersey Shore even as it stays off of the coast. Lifeguards are issuing renewed advice about what to do if you get caught in a rip current.
