    Beach Hazard Statement - 8:13pm Fri Oct 23 2026

    ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM SATURDAY TO 11 AM EDT MONDAY... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

    WHAT: For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 2 feet of
    inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near
    shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement,
    dangerous rip currents.

    WHERE: East Carteret County.

    WHEN: For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 5 AM Saturday to
    11 AM EDT Monday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM
    EDT Saturday through Saturday evening.

    IMPACTS: Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
    possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
    resulting in a low threat of property damage. 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.

    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 1 PM Saturday. Tide levels will continue
    to rise with King Tide Cycle in place through the upcoming work-
    week. The morning high tide will be the highest of the two daily
    tides. King Tide peaks Tuesday and Wednesday.

    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.

    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.

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