Rip currents and high surf from Hurricane Maria continue to make coastal waters treacherous for swimmers. The National Weather Service (NHS) has issued a high rip current risk through today and into Wednesday, when Maria, now off the North Carolina Banks, finally turns out to sea.
"The threat for dangerous rip currents will likely be high for much of the upcoming week," the NHS said in its Rip Current Statement.
Wave height is 3 feet to 5 feet.
Beaches are open but unguarded. Officials along the Jersey Shore warn bathers not to go in in the water, not even to walk in it. Police in Avon-by-the-Sea declared an emergency and banned bathing.
