...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Coastal
Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 6 AM to 9 AM EDT this
morning.
* LOCATIONS...Coastal Pender and Coastal New Hanover.
* TIMING...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 6 AM to 9 AM EDT
this morning. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 6 AM EDT
this morning through this evening. For the High Rip Current
Risk, from 6 AM EDT this morning through this evening.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor street flooding occurs on the
sound-side of Carolina Beach, along Canal Drive from Starfish
Lane northward. Water gets into yards along the sound, but the
street flooding is mainly the result of salt water backing up
through the storm drains. Heavy rain at the time of high tide
exacerbates this problem.
* SURF ZONE IMPACTS...Very strong rip currents will be dangerous
to anyone who enters the surf. Also, breezy southerly winds will
create a hazardous south to north longshore current at east-facing
beaches.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
