High Surf Advisory issued April 10 at 4:37PM ChST until April 12 at 6:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet and dangerous rip
currents.
* WHERE...North and east facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM ChST Sunday.
* 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...Strong to near-gale trade winds, enhanced by
TS Sinlaku, are producing an east swell near 10 feet. This will
produce hazardous surf of 8 to 10 feet along north facing reefs and
10 to 12 feet along east facing reefs. Surf is expected to continue
to build through Sunday, with dangerous surf likely by Sunday
afternoon.
Rip currents will be life threatening. 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.
