* WHAT...A high risk of rip currents. * WHERE...In Maryland, Maryland Beaches County. In North Carolina, Eastern Currituck County. In Virginia, Virginia Beach, and Accomack and Northampton Counties. * WHEN...From 7 AM EDT Thursday through Thursday evening. * IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 4 to 7 ft will result in rough surf conditions and a high risk of rip currents. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions are expected.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.


Beach Hazards Statement issued October 8 at 8:26PM EDT until October 9 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC

* 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...Northern Outer Banks. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 7 AM Thursday to 8 AM EDT Monday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT Thursday through Thursday evening. * IMPACTS...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 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. For the Beach Hazards Statement, rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong coastal storm will develop this weekend off the North Carolina coast, and has the potential to bring stronger winds and higher water levels to the area. Depending on the exact track and strength of the low, Coastal Flood Warning conditions may be met at some time this weekend, and users are urged to check back in on the forecast the rest of the week.

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.

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 3 feet of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Coastal Flood Watch, 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...For the Coastal Flood Watch and Advisory, areas along Hatteras beaches, Pamlico Sound, and adjacent tidal creeks.

For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Saturday afternoon through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...For the Beach Hazards Statement, rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 3 feet of inundation above ground level with minor ocean overwash possible in vulnerable locations along shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Coastal Flood Watch, up to 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level is possible in some areas near shorelines and tidal waterways resulting in an elevated threat of property damage around the times of high tide. Flooding will extend inland from the waterfront threatening some homes and businesses. Numerous road closures and flooding of vehicles will be possible, most notably along NC 12 where ocean overwash may make several portions of the highway inaccessible across Hatteras Island. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong coastal storm will develop this weekend off the North Carolina coast, and has the potential to bring stronger winds and higher water levels to the area. Depending on the exact track and strength of the low, there is potential for major coastal flooding impacts from ocean overwash, and users are urged to check back in on the forecast the rest of the week.

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.
