Swells from Hurricane #Fiona will bring dangerous rip currents and rough surf today. If you are not a strong swimmer, considering staying out of the water and always have flotation! #ncwx #scwx

[NWS Wilmington, NC @NWSWilmingtonNC]

Our partners at Wrightsville Beach Fire & Ocean Rescue have shared phenomenal drone footage of the rip currents at Wrightsville Beach today. These rip currents are a result of large swells from distant Hurricane Fiona! The risk for strong rip currents will exist into the weekend.

High risk for rip currents again today. It’s not a good day for ocean swimming. @NWSWilmingtonNC

[Sunset Beach Fire Department @SunsetBeachFD]

It’s a beautiful day on the beach, but the water conditions are predicted to be hazardous. Wave action, rip currents, and longshore currents are already present across the strand. @NWSWilmingtonNC @BrunswickGovt @WWAY @wectnews

[NWS Wilmington, NC @NWSWilmingtonNC]

Strong rip currents will continue to be a threat today, especially for areas north of North Myrtle Beach to Bald Head Island. Breezy southerly winds will lead to a strong south to north longshore current for NC beaches from Kure Beach to Surf City. #ncwx #scwx
