Coastal flooding will remain a major concern along the Jersey Shore throughout the weekend after Hurricane Erin

Those traveling down the shore today and this weekend are still advised to be mindful of powerful rip currents and safety warnings despite the weather appearing to be calmer Friday. Stay out of the water until it is fully safe.

On Aug. 21, the Jersey Shore and other beaches area will see "significant coastal hazards" as a result of Hurricane Erin, according to the NWS forecast. The agency issued a wind advisory between 10 a.m. and midnight from Ocean County southward, with sustained winds of 25-35 mph and gusts up to 50 mph.

Earlier this week, more than a dozen Jersey Shore beaches issued swimming bans as forecasters warned of life-threatening conditions for boaters and swimmers. Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency across all of New Jersey on Thursday.

Gov. Phil Murphy has declared a State of Emergency in response to potential coastal and flash flooding triggered by Hurricane Erin. The State of Emergency went into effect at 2 p.m. Thursday. High surf and rip currents are also expected.

Hotspots including Rockaway Beach, Coney Island and Manhattan Beach were shuttered Friday as massive waves and strong rip tides threatened suck away swimmers and surfers. State-run Long Island Beaches were closed just for swimming.
