For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to 9 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves expected in the surf zone. * WHERE...Coastal Onslow County. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 5 AM EDT Friday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 AM EDT Friday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Friday morning through Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. 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 4:00 PM Friday. 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. && $$ NCZ204-121200- /O.CAN.KMHX.BH.S.0004.000000T0000Z-240412T0000Z/ /O.NEW.KMHX.BH.S.0005.240412T1200Z-240413T0000Z/ /O.CON.KMHX.CF.Y.0016.000000T0000Z-240413T0000Z/ /O.CON.KMHX.SU.Y.0007.240412T0000Z-240413T0000Z/ Ocracoke Island- 750 PM EDT Thu Apr 11 2024 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT FRIDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT FRIDAY... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT 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 Beach Hazards Statement, from Friday morning through Friday evening. * IMPACTS...The vulnerable portion of NC-12 on the northern end of the island, will likely see inundation from ocean overwash which could close the road. This could impact ferry services. 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.

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. 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. && $$ NCZ205-121200- /O.CAN.KMHX.BH.S.0004.000000T0000Z-240412T0000Z/ /O.NEW.KMHX.BH.S.0005.240412T1200Z-240413T0000Z/ /O.CON.KMHX.CF.Y.0017.000000T0000Z-240412T1800Z/ /O.CON.KMHX.SU.Y.0007.240412T0000Z-240413T0000Z/ Hatteras Island- 750 PM EDT Thu Apr 11 2024 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT FRIDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT FRIDAY... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT 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.
