Coastal New Hanover-Coastal Georgetown-
811 PM EDT Sat Aug 31 2019
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT SUNDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a High Rip
Current Risk, which is in effect from 6 AM EDT Sunday through
Sunday evening.
* LOCATIONS...In South Carolina, Coastal Georgetown. In North
Carolina, Coastal New Hanover.
* TIMING...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 PM EDT this
evening. For the High Rip Current Risk, from 6 AM EDT Sunday
through Sunday evening.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Soundside flooding in Garden City
Beach with water on Atlantic and Cypress avenues. Storm water
drains back up and flood Pine Avenue. 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. The threat of strong rip currents
will persist through much of the upcoming week as large swells
from Hurricane Dorian affect the area 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.
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.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS
MORNING TO 2 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a Beach
Hazards Statement, which is in effect through this evening.
* LOCATIONS...In South Carolina, Coastal Horry and Coastal
Georgetown. In North Carolina, Coastal Pender and Coastal New
Hanover.
* TIMING...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 9 AM this
morning to 2 PM EDT this afternoon. For the Beach Hazards
Statement, through this evening. For the High Rip Current
Risk, 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, a strong north to south
longshore will develop this afternoon due to strong winds.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
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.
Longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties, and other hazardous areas. Often, if the
longshore current is strong enough, it will sweep swimmers off
their feet, making it difficult to return to shore.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

Coastal Brunswick-
456 AM EDT Sun Sep 1 2019
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS
MORNING TO 2 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON...
* LOCATIONS...Coastal Brunswick.
* TIMING...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 9 AM this
morning to 2 PM EDT this afternoon. For the High Rip Current
Risk, 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, a strong north to south
longshore will develop this afternoon due to strong winds.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
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.
Longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties, and other hazardous areas. Often, if the
longshore current is strong enough, it will sweep swimmers off
their feet, making it difficult to return to shore.

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

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT
TONIGHT...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT MONDAY THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a High Rip
Current Risk, which is in effect from 6 AM EDT Monday through
Monday evening.
* LOCATIONS...Coastal Brunswick.
* TIMING...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until midnight EDT
tonight. For the High Rip Current Risk, from 6 AM EDT Monday
through Monday evening.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor coastal flooding will affect low
lying streets and neighborhood during high tide this evening.
* SURF ZONE IMPACTS...Very strong rip currents will be dangerous
to anyone who enters the surf.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
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.

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