Swells generated by Hurricane Gabrielle are also expected to impact Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward and Atlantic Canada over the next few days. Those swells are expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents at local beaches.

“The tropics, they’re going a bit nuts right now,” Woods said. “We’re pretty much at the peak of hurricane season, kind of coming on the backside, but still, there’s a good potential for some more storms to come through, and in fact, they’re out there.”
