While the path of Hurricane Erin is expected to remain hundreds of miles off the New Jersey coast, Atlantic County officials urge residents and visitors to our area to heed warnings for dangerous rip currents and unusually high surf activity along the coast over the next several days.
A high surf advisory will be in effect through Friday morning, as issued by the National Weather Service. Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson noted that a few beaches along the coast have already restricted swimming, including Ventnor and Wildwood while Atlantic City is only permitting bathers in knee-deep waters.
