* WHAT…Breaking waves up to 10 feet, and occasionally higher,
resulting in life-threatening rip current.
* WHERE…Beaches along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, from
Rincon to Fajardo.
* WHEN…For the High Surf Advisory, through this evening. For the
High Rip Current Risk through late tonight.
* IMPACTS…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 can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…A northwest swell will continue to build
across the Atlantic waters and passages today. This will cause
high surf conditions from the mid-morning hours onwards along
the northern beaches of Puerto Rico from Rincon to Fajardo.
