...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT SUNDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT
SUNDAY...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 5 to
  9 feet in the surf zone. 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.

* WHERE...Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until noon EDT Sunday. For
  the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening. For the
  Coastal Flood Advisory, until noon EDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
  possible in some areas near shorelines resulting in an elevated
  threat of property damage. Flooding will extend inland from the
  waterfront threatening some homes and businesses. Some road
  closures and flooding of vehicles will be possible. Dangerous
  swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion with
  ocean overwash, especially for vulnerable areas on Hatteras
  Island from Buxton north. 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.

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
