* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves
between 10 and 13 feet and occasionally higher.
* WHERE...Beaches of northern Puerto Rico, from Aguadilla to
Fajardo, Culebra, St. Thomas and St. John. The most vulnerable
areas for high surf and localized beach erosion include Pinones
along road 187, Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa
Cristiana in Loiza; Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in
Aguadilla; Barrio Obrero, Pueblo and Jarealito in Arecibo; La
Boca in Barceloneta; Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega
Baja; and Ocean Park in San Juan.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory until 6 AM AST Thursday. For
the High Rip Current Risk remains through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers
away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to
return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and
sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also
knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized
beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.
If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.
