Swells from Nicole should begin to affect the United States east coast south of the Carolinas, the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and the Leeward Islands during the early part of next week. These swells will create dangerous surf conditions and rip currents. Please refer to products being issued by your local weather office for more information.
