AUGUST 2, 2026 • 🟥RED FLAG NOTICE🟥

The Beach Safety Division has upgraded conditions to 🟥RED FLAG🟥 effective immediately and until further notice for Sunday, August 2, 2026.

NOTE: This overrides the current flag forecast by the National Weather Service Wilmington, and is due to hazardous conditions observed locally by the Beach Safety Division.

During a RED FLAG there is a ‼️HIGH RISK‼️ of rip currents and rough surf conditions, with no “safe” water depth identified. The beach areas are still open to enjoy, but ocean swimming and in-water activity should NOT take place.

I had a great breakfast this morning with Christopher Casteen, one of my former high school students, and his mother Melody. Christopher was one of my Firefighter Technology students, and a great one. He gifted me this awesome box of goodies, and I cannot thank him and Ms. Melody enough. It made my day for sure! Good luck Christopher, in all you do! You've already made me proud. I wish you a long, happy, bright future!
