High Surf Advisory issued January 25 at 3:41PM ChST until January 26 at 6:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 11 feet and dangerous rip
currents.
* WHERE...West and north facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM ChST Monday. For
the High Rip Current Risk, through Monday 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...Northerly swell continues to produce
hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents along west and
north facing reefs. Surf decreases slightly along west and north
facing reefs through Monday afternoon as northerly swell
subsides and northeast trade swell becomes the primary swell.
This may allow for surf rip risk to fall below hazardous levels
along west and north facing reefs by Monday evening and begin to
increase surf along east facing reefs. However, another pulse of
northwest to north swell looks to arrive around Tuesday,
possibly causing surf and rip risk to increase to hazardous
levels along west and north facing reefs around midweek.
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.
