Huge breaking waves along the Jersey Shore, coupled with strong rip currents, will be very dangerous to anyone in the ocean, officials warn.

Hurricane Erin is creating dangerous conditions at the Jersey Shore, Long Island, and all along the East Coast with wicked rip currents, large waves, and coastal flooding. Forecasters expect the storm to peak over the next 48 hours and say it could re-intensify into a major hurricane by Wednesday night.
