In North Carolina, Coastal Pender and Coastal New Hanover. * TIMING...From 6 AM EDT Wednesday through Wednesday evening. * SURF ZONE IMPACTS...Strong south to north longshore current will develop at east-facing area beaches in the afternoon due to strong southerly winds. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. Caution should be used when in or near the water. Check with the lifeguards before entering the ocean for possible hazards you may be swept into. && $$ 19
