A high surf advisory remains in effect until 4 PM EST this
afternoon. A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 9 PM
EST this evening.

Forecast tidal departures are continuing to decrease over the
northern Outer Banks as low pressure moves away from the region
and north winds diminish. There still could be some ocean
overwash and minor flooding during the high tide around 6 am
Sunday morning... especially near Pea Island.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area... producing dangerous rip currents and
localized beach erosion.

A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate minor flooding of low areas along the
shore.

Rip currents are strong... narrow channels of water that flow out
to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... remain calm. Try
to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach until you get
away from the rip... then swim at an angle in to shore. Do not try
to swim back to shore directly against the rip... since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.
