Northern Outer Banks-Hatteras Island-
424 AM EDT Mon Sep 23 2024

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EDT
TUESDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
EVENING NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS...

* 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, dangerous
  rip currents and large breaking waves expected in the surf
  zone.

* WHERE...Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 5 PM EDT Tuesday.
  For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this morning
  through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
  possible in some areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
  resulting in an elevated threat of property damage, mainly
  around the times of high tide. Some roads and low lying property
  including parking lots, parks, lawns, and homes adjacent to the
  waterfront will experience shallow flooding. 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 6:00 PM today.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.

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.

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