Seas 3 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and tstms. Small Craft Advisory conditions are not expected. South winds increasing to 20 to 25 knots today will create 4 to 5 foot breakers along the south facing shores of Brunswick County. These breakers will increase the potential for life threatening rip currents from Sunset Beach to the south shores of Bald Head Island.
Rip currents are strong narrow channels of water that flow seaward.
Try to swim on a course that is parallel to the beach. Once you get away from the rip then begin to swim back to shore.
