Safety Precautions & Preparedness Guidelines

Roadway Safety

• Bridge Wind Safety: Drivers on elevated coastal bridges (including the Oak Island and Holden Beach bridges) should use extra caution Thursday afternoon as wind gusts reach 20+ mph.

• Vehicle Maintenance: Check tire pressure before the weekend, as colder night temperatures (dipping near 33°F) naturally cause tire pressure to drop.

Ocean & Beach Safety

• Boating Conditions: Small craft operators should exercise caution Thursday afternoon and evening as frontal passage shifts winds to the west-northwest with increased gustiness.

• Beach Operations: Low to moderate rip current risks remain present along area beaches; always swim near designated lifeguard areas when visiting the coastline.
