High Surf Advisory issued July 9 at 5:50PM ChST until July 10 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
Corrected to include north facing reefs.
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST FRIDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Large breaking waves up to 12 feet expected in the surf
zone. Dangerous rip currents.
* WHERE...Along north, south, and west facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Friday.
* 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...Significant west to southwest swells continue
to emanate from Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) and its trailing monsoon
pattern, maintaining hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents
along north, south, and west facing reefs. So, the High Surf
Advisory and High Rip Current Risk have been extended through
Friday afternoon. As Bavi continues to pull away and the leading
monsoon surge weakens, swells and associated surf will continue to
diminish, potentially falling below hazardous levels by Friday
night.
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. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
