Coastal Flood Advisory
Issued: 1:47 PM Feb. 2, 2026 – National Weather Service
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AST WEDNESDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM THIS AFTERNOON UNTIL 6 AM AST WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood, significant coastal flooding, particularly late this afternoon through Tuesday. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 10 to 15 feet late today, and between 15 to 20 feet from this evening through Tuesday. For the High Rip Current Risk, life- threatening rip currents. * WHERE....Beaches of western to northeastern Puerto Rico, Culebra, St. Thomas, and St. John. The most vulnerable areas for high surf and 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; Ocean Park in San Juan; and Barrio Espinal in Aguada. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, through early Wednesday morning. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 12 PM this afternoon through Wednesday morning. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Wednesday 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 moderate to significant beach erosion and considerable erosion of dune structures. Coastal flooding of vulnerable areas will result in an elevated threat of property and structural damage near the waterfront and shoreline, with a higher threat near the time of high tide. Lives may be at risk for people who put themselves in harm's way. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A large, long-period northwest to northerly swell will gradually spread across the Atlantic waters and passages through midweek. Seas are expected to build rapidly up to 12 feet, and occasionally higher from late this afternoon through Tuesday. This swell is forecast to cause large breaking wave action along the west to northeast beaches of Puerto Rico, from Rincon to Fajardo, Culebra, and the northern USVI. Swell decay from offshore buoys and model adjustment due to underestimation of seas, suggest surf heights between 15 and 20 feet during the peak of the event. A High Surf Warning and a Coastal Flood Warning could be issued later today if buoy observations continue to support this significant swell event. * The next high tides are expected as follows: In San Juan, 1.01 feet at 9:16 PM AST, and 1.49 feet on Tuesday at 10:29 AM AST; in Carolina/Loiza, 0.88 feet at 9:43 PM AST, and 1.36 feet on Tuesday at 10:33 AM AST; in Arecibo, 1.17 feet at 8:58 PM AST, and 1.80 feet on Tuesday at 9:45 AM AST; in Aguadilla, 0.82 feet at 8:47 PM AST, and 1.36 feet on Tuesday at 9:32 AM AST; in Mayaguez, 0.98 feet at 9:17 PM AST, and 1.35 feet on Tuesday at 10:01 AM AST; in Botany Bay, St. Thomas, 0.93 feet at 9:42 PM AST, and 1.32 feet on Tuesday at 10:16 AM AST. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. There is a high risk of rip currents. 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. &&
