... High surf advisory now in effect until 10 PM AST this evening...
The high surf advisory has been extended until 10 PM AST this evening for the northwest through northeast coasts of Puerto Rico... Culebra and Vieques and for the northern U.S. Virgin Islands.
Buoy 41043 located north of St Thomas continued to show long period north swells early this morning and they were holding at around 7 feet. These swells will continue to affect the northwest through northeast facing coastlines of the local islands through at least late this evening... while continuing to gradually subside.
These long period swells will continue to produce large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet along the local reefs and Shoals of the local islands through late this evening... and waves of 5 to 9 feet along the local beaches. Therefore... the high surf advisory has been extended until 1000 PM AST this evening.
These breaking waves will continue to generate strong and dangerous currents within the surf zone... called rip currents. These narrow outward flowing currents can carry people and animals away from the coast line... through the breaker zone... and out towards open sea. If you become caught in a rip current... do not panic. Calmly... remain afloat... gather your bearings relative to the beach... and swim sideways... or parallel to the beach. You will eventually leave the grip of this narrow current... and be able to safely swim to shore.
Local beach goers... and inexperienced surfers and swimmers should stay out of the water until these hazardous surf conditions subside. Persons on the beach should be vigilant for large breaking waves surging upon the shore... which can carry people of all sizes into the ocean. You should avoid being near the shore line and stay off of rock formations.
These surging waves will also create the potential for beach erosion during times of high tide.
The times of the high tide for the following locations are:
San Juan harbor: 7:14 PM this evening at 1.5 feet. Magens Bay St thomas: 7:47 PM this evening at 1.1 feet.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio for the latest information on this dangerous marine situation.
