* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents
and large breaking waves in the surf zone. For the High Surf

structures in some areas. This will likely result in damage to
property along the oceanside including some property located
immediately behind dune structures. Actions should be taken to
protect life and property. Dangerous swimming and surfing
conditions and significant beach erosion. 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.

event, with the potential for roads along the immediate coast to
be impassable at times, especially around times of high tide.
The area of greatest concern for oceanside impacts is North
Topsail Beach.

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
