A heavy rip current warning has been issued for beaches in New York on Sunday. <\/p>\n
The life-threatening rip current conditions are expected to be in affect through 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, according to an alert issued by New York City Emergency Management. <\/p>\n
Even strong swimmers are being told not to go into the water and follow posted red flag warnings. <\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service, almost all beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean in the New York City area including New Jersey and Long Island, are under a high rip current risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier on Sunday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that swimming would resume at all Long Island State Park ocean beaches<\/a> now that the rough conditions have begun to die down.<\/p>\n However, a release from the governor\u2019s office does warn that some beachgoers might still run into swimming restrictions at some beaches based on local conditions.<\/p>\n As Hurricane Erin swung towards the north Atlantic, beaches along the eastern seaboard<\/a>were closed out of precaution due to life-threatening high surf, dangerous rip currents and potential beach flooding caused by the storm.<\/p>\n New York City prohibited swimming at all city beaches due to the effects of the storm, but left the sand open for visitors.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
