Rip Current Statement
Issued: 7:46 AM Feb. 4, 2026 – National Weather Service
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AST THURSDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM AST THIS EVENING... * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, moderate coastal flooding. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet. 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 Coastal Flood Advisory, until 6 PM AST this evening. For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM AST Thursday. For the High Rip Current Risk, 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 some beach erosion with only minor damage possible to dune structure. Shallow flooding of vulnerable areas will result in a limited threat of property and structural damage near the waterfront and shoreline, with a higher threat near the time of high tide. Isolated road closures are possible. * The next high tides are expected as follows: San Juan, 1.35 feet at 11:05 AM AST; Fajardo, 1.47 ft at 10:41 AM AST, Carolina- Loiza, 1.26 ft at 11:09 AM AST; Arecibo, 1.65 ft at 10:23 AM AST; Aguadilla, 1.24 ft at 10:10 AM AST; Mayaguez, 1.25 ft at 10:41 AM AST; Boqueron, 0.70 ft at 10:13 AM AST; Culebra, 0.96 ft at 10:35 AM AST; and Botany Bay, St. Thomas, 1.20 ft at 10:44 AM AST. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. 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. &&
