How to Track Hurricane Erin: See Which States Are Currently at Risk
Hurricane Erin is causing 7 to 12-foot waves, moderate to major coastal flooding, and life-threatening rip currents, prompting beach closures and flood warnings from officials.
- On Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, Jersey Shore towns including Atlantic City, Margate, Longport and Wildwood prohibited swimming due to rough surf and life-threatening rip currents, banning water entry above ankle depth and boogie boarding.
- Hurricane Erin offshore is driving the hazardous conditions with maximum sustained winds near 110 mph; it lies about 545 miles west-southwest of Bermuda and 365 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, fueling dangerous surf along the coast.
- The National Weather Service has warnings in place including a high surf advisory and high rip current risk until Aug. 22, plus a coastal flood warning for Cape May County, New Jersey until Aug. 23 with 1 foot inundation expected near shorelines.
- Beachgoers face life‑threatening rip currents that have already prompted rescues, including 75 saved at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina; conditions may improve late Thursday night but moderate coastal flooding could return Friday evening.
- Local officials warn restrictions will likely remain in place throughout the week as the National Hurricane Center forecasts Erin could strengthen and expand, raising surge threats from the Jersey Shore to central South Carolina.
