...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT SATURDAY
NIGHT...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT SATURDAY
NIGHT...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM EDT SATURDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IS CANCELLED...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 2 feet of
  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
  and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
  waves of 6 to 9 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves
  expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until midnight EDT
  Saturday night. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 7 AM EDT
  Saturday through Saturday evening.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
  possible in some areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. Flooding
  of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures
  expected. Additional overwash onto NC-12 is possible around
  times of high tide Saturday morning and evening due to elevated
  astronomical tides and persisting strong wave energy. Dangerous
  swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip
  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
  deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or
  surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and back
  injuries.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip
  currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
  which will occur around 2 pm Saturday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
