(CNN) -- Three people missing Sunday after large ocean waves knocked several people into the Atlantic off Maine's Acadia National Park have been located, a park official said. Ocean waves knocked several people into the Atlantic off Maine's Acadia National Park Sunday. 1 of 3  The victims were among several thousand people who were at the park late Sunday morning to watch the high waves that Hurricane Bill -- a Category 1 storm -- was kicking up offshore. The waves knocked several people into the water, and some suffered broken bones and back injuries, Sheridan Steele, the park's superintendent, said. The U.S. Coast Guard rescued at least two people in the afternoon, and the final three were accounted for by the early evening, Steele said. The victims' conditions weren't immediately known. The hurricane passed New England without making landfall and late Sunday afternoon was moving close to the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, parts of which were under a hurricane watch.  Watch how Canada is bracing for Bill » Shortly before 5 p.m., Hurricane Bill was just off Canso, Nova Scotia, and about 385 miles (620 kilometers) west-southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland, according to the National Weather Service. The storm was weakening, with sustained winds near 75 mph, and was moving northeast at 35 mph, the center reported. Three hours earlier, maximum sustained winds were near 80 mph. Bill would be a tropical storm if such winds fall below 74 mph. "On the forecast track, the center of Bill [will] pass near or over southeastern Newfoundland tonight or early Monday," the center's 5 p.m. advisory said. "Weakening is forecast during the next 24 hours, and Bill is expected to [lose tropical characteristics] on Monday." Though tropical storm warnings were lifted in the United States, a hurricane watch was in effect for part of Nova Scotia, from Ecum Secum to Point Aconi. Tropical storm warnings were in effect for other parts of Nova Scotia, and for parts of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, Canada. A tropical storm warning means tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 24 hours. Earlier, the weather service warned that dangerous surf and "life-threatening rip currents" remained concerns along the U.S. East Coast. Rip currents are strong seaward flows of water that occur where there's a break in the shoreline. They are difficult to detect.  Watch a primer on rip currents » The water is unsafe even for "strong swimmers," Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick warned Saturday.

"It stayed just enough offshore to give us a break."  Watch how Canada is bracing for Bill » It's good news for President Obama and his family, who planned to arrive for vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, on Sunday. "We look forward to welcoming him to Massachusetts as soon as he can safely get here," Patrick said. Rain was scant in Chatham on Sunday morning as residents went about their normal business.

Patrick O'Connell of Chatham said he has a house on nearby North Beach Island, and neither his nor his neighbor's house suffered any damage. Smith said the beaches should reopen Monday at 2 p.m. after the heavy surf and rip currents pass. The Coast Guard reported swells reached 18 feet about 15 miles off the Massachusetts coast early Sunday. The swells began diminishing around 3 a.m., and swells off the coast of Chatham on Sunday morning were 11 feet.  Watch the waves crash on Massachusetts beach » Hurricane Bill skirted Bermuda, leaving rain in its wake.
