Beach Hazards Statement
Coastal Hazard Message National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC 805 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2026 NCZ195-196-204-205-211215- /O.NEW.KMHX.BH.S.0049.260721T1200Z-260722T0000Z/ West Carteret-East Carteret-Ocracoke Island-Hatteras Island- 805 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2026 ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING... * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and strong longshore currents in the surf zone. * WHERE...The beaches from Cape Hatteras to Ocracoke Inlet, and Bogue Banks beaches. * WHEN...From Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. 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 8:00 AM Tuesday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. 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. && $$
