A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when threats such as rip currents, longshore currents, and other hazards create life- threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution should be used when in or near the water. There is a high risk of rip currents. Life threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. && $$ NCZ107-109-111830- /O.CON.KILM.CF.W.0012.000000T0000Z-181011T1800Z/ Inland New Hanover-Inland Brunswick- 122 PM EDT Thu Oct 11 2018 ...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON... * Location...Along both sides of the Lower Cape Fear River from downtown Wilmington southward to Southport. * Coastal Flooding...High tide will combine with tropical storm force winds pushing water up the river, to create minor flooding across low lying locations along the lower Cape Fear River during the mid to late evening hours. * Timing...The highest water levels will occur in a 3 to 4 hour window centered around high tide, today at 1202 pm.

Caution should be used when in or near the water. There is a high risk of rip currents. Life threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone.

If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. && $$ NCZ110-120230- /O.CON.KILM.SU.Y.0001.000000T0000Z-181012T0800Z/ /O.CON.KILM.BH.S.0033.000000T0000Z-181012T0000Z/ /O.CON.KILM.RP.S.0022.000000T0000Z-181012T2000Z/ Coastal Brunswick- 229 PM EDT Thu Oct 11 2018 ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EDT FRIDAY... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON... * Location...For the immediate coast and beaches from Cape Fear NC to Little River Inlet SC. * Rip Current Risk...High for all beaches of Brunswick County from Bald Head Island to Sunset Beach. * Surf Height...5 to 8 ft this afternoon. * Rip Current Timing and Tides...Rip currents will occur at all times with the worst ones within a 4 hour window centered at low tide.
