South Florida is not expected to see direct impacts from Hurricane Erin, but rip currents and surf up to 6 feet, especially along Palm Beach, are expected.

Hurricane Erin, now classified as a major hurricane, is under close observation by Hurricane Hunters. The storm’s wind field has grown to about 400 miles with tropical storm-force winds.

Officials are warning novice swimmers and surfers about dangerous rip currents and large waves at Florida's beaches from Hurricane Erin. Up to 12' waves are possible this week, along with rough surf conditions.
