Coastal Flood Watch
Issued: 8:23 AM Oct. 10, 2025 – National Weather Service
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EDT SATURDAY... ...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING... * WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves in the surf zone. 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. * WHERE...Hatteras Island. * WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 5 PM EDT Saturday. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Saturday afternoon through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...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. 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. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and back injuries. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A coastal low is forecast to move north along, or just off, the coast of the Carolinas this weekend, leading to multiple coastal hazards. Depending on the exact track and strength of the low, there is potential for moderate to locally major coastal flooding impacts from ocean overwash, and users are urged to check back in on the forecast the rest of the week. The most likely time for strong rip currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide, which will occur around 4:00 PM Friday. 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. A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when threats such as rip currents, longshore currents, and other hazards create life-threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution should be used when in or near the water. &&
