New York is bracing for Hurricane Erin — now expected to cause dangerous rip currents that’ll impact beaches , the city’s Emergency Management Department warned Monday.

New Yorkers are urged to stay out of the water at red-zoned beaches where life guards aren’t present — with life-threatening rip currents likely Tuesday and through the entire week. Red zone areas expected to be impacted are beaches in Brooklyn, Nassau County, and both southwestern and southeastern Suffolk County, according to the National Weather Service .

“The same swells are generating dangerous rip currents that can sweep swimmers away from shore. These currents are life-threatening, even for strong swimmers. Only swim where lifeguards are present,” the Emergency Management Department said on X .
