High Surf Advisory Statement as of 4:17 am EDT on September 7, 2008

... High surf advisory remains in effect until 8 PM EDT this
evening...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 8 PM EDT this
evening.

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 today.

Rough surf of 4 to 6 feet can be expected with occasional 6 to 8
foot breakers possible. The rough surf and long period swell will
contribute to the threat of dangerous rip currents... especially
around the times of low tide early this morning and again this
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.
