High threat of rip currents in effect from 8 am EDT to 8 PM EDT Sunday from Outer Banks Hyde to south to Surf City... The high surf advisory is now in effect until 8 PM EDT Sunday. The National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City has issued a high surf advisory... which is in effect until 8 PM EDT Sunday. Residual swell from Tropical Storm Hanna and developing long period swell from distant major Hurricane Ike... will combine to produce high surf and dangerous rip currents along the coast of eastern North Carolina through Sunday. Rough surf of 4 to 6 feet with occasional 8 foot breakers are expected to occur. The rough surf and long period swell will contribute to the threat of dangerous rip currents... especially around the times of low tide early Sunday morning and again in the evening. 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 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. Always heed the advice of lifeguards. Pay attention to flags and signs posted near beach access points and lifeguard stations. For your own safety... it is recommended you stay out of the water. A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach erosion. High surf advisory in effect until 8 PM EDT Sunday...
