High Surf Advisory issued March 1 at 4:09AM ChST until March 2 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves reaching to between 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 and longer-period
northeast swell continues to produce hazardous surf of up to 9
feet along north and south facing reefs and up to 12 feet along
east facing reefs. Seas and swell begin to gradually diminish
today, allowing the surf to fall below hazardous levels by
Monday night. However, there is a possibility for surf along
south and east facing reefs to fall below hazardous levels as
early as tonight. A high risk of rip currents is expected to
continue through Monday afternoon, but may decrease to moderate
along south facing reefs as early as tonight.
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.
