SUNDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT SUNDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents
and strong longshore currents in the surf zone. 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 5 to 8
feet in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until noon EDT Sunday.
For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT this evening.
* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
possible resulting in a low threat of property damage. Some
roads and low lying properties, especially for flood prone areas
in Hatteras Island, will experience shallow flooding with
localized ocean overwash. Dangerous swimming and surfing
conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep
even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Strong
longshore currents will create dangerous swimming conditions.
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.
Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.
