ORLANDO, Fla. – Rough surf, strong rip currents and hazardous beach conditions are expected to impact Central Florida as Hurricane Erin remains well offshore.

Erin on Tuesday was tracking north and will make its closest approach to Florida early Wednesday, passing more than 400 miles east of the Space Coast. Though the storm’s path remains out at sea, Erin will continue to send strong swells toward the coast. No description found

Conditions for beachgoers and boaters will be dangerous all week, and entering the water is strongly discouraged.

A High Surf Advisory begins Tuesday afternoon for Flagler, Volusia and Brevard counties. Erin Co
