FRIDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT FRIDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IS CANCELLED...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 2 feet of inundation
  above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines
  and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
  waves of 6 to 9 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Beach
  Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking

  For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 AM EDT Friday. For the
  Beach Hazards Statement, from Friday morning through Friday
  evening.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only
  isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and
  surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. 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 4:00 PM Friday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

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.

* 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 High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6
  to 9 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, dangerous rip currents, large breaking waves
  expected, and strong longshore currents in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Ocracoke Island.

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

* IMPACTS...The vulnerable portion of NC-12 on the northern end of
  the island, will likely see inundation from ocean overwash which
  could close the road. This could impact ferry services.
  Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach
  erosion. 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. Strong longshore currents will create dangerous
  swimming conditions.

* 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 4:00 PM Friday.

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.

Strong longshore currents can sweep swimmers and surfers into rip
currents, piers, jetties and other hazardous areas. In many
cases, the longshore current is strong enough to prevent swimmers
from being able to keep their feet on the bottom making it
difficult to return to shore.
