Hurricane Gaston Impact Long Island Beaches

For much of the summer rip currents have been a problem on Long Island because we have seen many days with an onshore flow. This has been a particular problem for Sufffolk County beaches. Now we have Hurricane Gaston well out to sea about 1000 miles southeast of Long Island. However rough seas will be reaching the Long Island shoreline beginning on Tuesday and lasting through much of the week. In addition Tropical Depression 8 is forecast to become a Tropical Storm as it moves out to sea late in the week and this could also add to rough surf conditions through at least Friday.

Look for waves along the Atlantic Ocean beaches to build to 4 to 5 feet with some occasional higher swells beginning Tuesday.

HURRICANE GASTON WAVES BUILDING TUESDAY…WAVE HEIGHT FORECAST

At least from the standpoint of day to day weather, the only threat for any rain will come late Wednesday as a cold front moves through. There could be some thunderstorms with that though the front does not look all that impressive. Then cool dry air takes over beginning on Thursday and lasting into at least the start of the holiday weekend.
