Category four Hurricane Kirk will likely cause rip currents across many areas from Greater Antilles to Canada

From NHC discussion:

Even though Kirk is expected to stay over the open Atlantic, its
strong intensity and increasing size will cause large ocean swells
to propagate far away from the hurricane. These swells will likely
increase the risk of dangerous surf and rip currents across the
Leeward Islands beginning Friday, Bermuda and the Greater Antilles
by Saturday, and much of the U.S. East Coast, Atlantic Canada, and
the Bahamas by Sunday. For more information on this hazard, see
products issued by your local weather office.
