High Surf Advisory issued February 28 at 3:43PM ChST until March 2 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 9 to 12 feet and dangerous rip
currents
* WHERE...North, east, and south facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated trade-wind swell is expected to
produce hazardous surf along north, east, and south facing reefs.
Surf is taking a bit longer to start falling. Surf along east
facing reefs is anticipated to fall below the 12 foot threshold
before north and south facing reefs fall below their 9 foot
threshold. The risk of rip currents will remain high along all 3
reefs through Monday.
Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip
current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If
able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
