Increased surf and dangerous rip currents are expected to continue along the eastern seaboard as Hurricane Erin moves into the North Atlantic.

Hurricane Erin’s passage far off shore created nearly perfect conditions for surfers along much of Florida’s coast. Miami Herald photographer Alie Skowronski spent Thursday morning on the beach in Stuart and caught amazing action on waves estimated at eight feet and higher.

Overnight Monday in early Tuesday, the storm will be directly east of South Florida as it turns north.There will be a break in the ridge of high pressure, which has been steering the storm west-northwest, which will lead to a track between the Carolinas and Bermuda on Wednesday.
