High Surf Advisory issued March 12 at 3:58PM ChST until March 15 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU

* WHAT…Large breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet and dangerous rip
currents expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE…For the High Surf Advisory, north-facing reefs of the
Marianas. For the High Rip Risk, north and east-facing reefs.

* WHEN…Until 4 PM ChST Saturday.

* 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…A pulse of northerly swell, in combination
with northeasterly trade swell, has brought hazardous surf to
north-facing reefs and a high risk of rip currents to north and
east-facing reefs. On Thursday, a large long-period northeasterly
swell will enter the region, maintaining these surf hazards through
at least the end of this week. As such, the High Surf Advisory and
High Rip Current Risk Statement were extended to Saturday
afternoon, when surf is expected to fall below hazardous levels.
