  • Rip Current Statement

    Ends in 2 h 48 min

    When
    For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 10 AM EDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, until 8 PM EDT this evening.
    Where
    Coastal Georgetown County.

    Issued for this forecast zone · National Weather Service Wilmington NC

    What, impacts and precautions

    What

    For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one half foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. There is also a strong north to south longshore current.

    Impacts

    Vulnerable causeways to and from local beaches may experience minor coastal flooding. Low-lying roads and locations along the Intracoastal Waterway and adjacent tidal creeks may observe minor coastal flooding. Check with local officials for the latest information regarding coastal flood impacts and closures. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

    Additional details

    Affected areas listed are based on average tide conditions. Additional locations may experience flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, high winds, or other factors.

    Precautionary 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.

    Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
