High surf and dangerous rip currents are likely. People are advised to stay out of the water this week, even when a lifeguard is on duty.
The storm, off North Carolina, was generating life-threatening surf and rip currents and causing beach closures along the East Coast.
The swimmer was not identified by police, but a Coast Guard official said the victim was a young teenage girl.
