SANDBAR AND IN THE VICINITY OF STRUCTURES SUCH AS GROINS...
JETTIES AND PIERS. HEED THE ADVICE OF LIFEGUARDS AND THE BEACH

OCEAN OVERWASH AND BEACH EROSION. THE MAIN THREAT OF OCEANSIDE
FLOODING WILL BE SOUTH OF CAPE HATTERAS AROUND HIGH TIDE WHICH
OCCURS AROUND 130 AM.

THE STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO PRODUCE LARGE SEAS OFFSHORE RESULTING
IN HAZARDOUS SURF ZONE CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH BREAKERS
OF 5 TO 8 FEET. THIS WILL ALSO PRODUCE A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS
ALONG AREA BEACHES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MEANS THAT HIGH SURF WILL AFFECT BEACHES IN
THE ADVISORY AREA...PRODUCING DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AND
