    Weather Alerts
    Beach Hazard Statement - 12:23pm Tue Jun 23 2026

    ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

    WHAT: Dangerous rip currents and strong longshore currents in
    the surf zone.

    WHERE: Strong longshore currents for the beaches from Oregon
    Inlet to Cape Hatteras. For the dangerous rip currents and
    strong longshore currents, the beaches from Cape Hatteras to
    Surf City.

    WHEN: Until 8 PM EDT this evening.

    IMPACTS: Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
    from shore into deeper water. Strong longshore currents will
    create dangerous swimming conditions.

    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.
