    Beach Hazard Statement - 5:15am Sat Oct 24 2026

    ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT TUESDAY...

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

    WHERE: Northern Outer Banks.

    WHEN: For the High Surf Advisory, until midnight EDT tonight.
    For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening. For the
    Coastal Flood Advisory, until noon EDT Tuesday.

    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.

    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. 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 Tides peak 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.

    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.

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