Beach Hazards Statement issued June 13 at 8:04PM EDT until June 14 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC

* WHAT...Strong longshore currents in the surf zone. * WHERE...The beaches from Oregon Inlet to Surf City. * WHEN...Through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Strong longshore currents will create dangerous swimming conditions.

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.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
