Northern Outer Banks beaches.
WHEN
For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this morning through this evening. For the High Surf Advisory, from noon today to 11 AM EDT Thursday.

Recommendations
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired, float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

It is extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all times.
