High Surf Advisory issued August 3 at 3:40AM ChST until August 8 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet and dangerous rip
currents expected in the surf zone.
* WHERE...North and east facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 4 PM ChST Saturday.
For the High Rip Current Risk, through Saturday afternoon.
* 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...Long-period east to northeast swell, emanating
from distant Typhoon Dolphin, continues to produce a high risk of
rip currents along north and east-facing reefs, along with
hazardous surf along said reefs. As Dolphin continues to move
toward Iwo To, the long-period swell direction is expected to shift
north over the next few days, and then northwest around midweek. As
it does so, a high risk of rip currents and hazardous surf are
expected to develop along west facing reefs later this week.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
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.
