Tropical Storm Ernesto, which recently moved away from Bermuda and into the Atlantic, has generated powerful swells that are now affecting the U.S. East Coast. These swells have led to the formation of rip currents, resulting in hazardous conditions for beachgoers.
The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory and warned of a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic Coast. These strong currents can pose a threat to swimmers of all skill levels, potentially sweeping them away from shore into deeper waters.
