Hurricane Jose Making For Dangerous Conditions At Cape Hatteras National Seashore

Share
By NPT Staff - September 17th, 2017

With Hurricane Jose swirling off the coast, officials at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina are warning visitors to stay out of the water due to dangerous rip tides.

Seashore staff warn that there could also be large swells and windy conditions associated with Jose, which was roughly 355 miles southeast of the seashore Sunday morning. Due to these conditions, Superintendent David Hallac is urging all beach visitors to stay out of the water until dangerous conditions subside.

While Hurricane Jose is impacting the seashore, it is possible that beach access ramps and routes may be impassable for several hours before and after high tide. Similar conditions are likely at Cape Lookout National Seashore to just south of Hatteras.

Additionally, areas south of beach access ramp 4, near Oregon Inlet, may be inaccessible over the next several days while a grounded 54-foot sport fishing vessel on Bodie Island Spit is being salvaged.

Beach access ramp 72 on Ocracoke is flooded south of Shirley’s Lane; permitted off-road vehicles should utilize ramp 70 to access the south side of the island.
