Public warned of high surf
Based on information received from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, fresh to occasionally strong trade winds and combined seas building to 8 to 10 feet will produce hazardous conditions for operators of small craft until Friday morning, according to the CNMI Homeland Security and Emergency Management yesterday.
A small craft advisory is now in effect up to 11am Friday.
Fresh to occasionally strong trade winds up to 29 mph and combined seas building to 8 to 10 feet will produce hazardous conditions for operators of small craft through Friday morning. Highest seas are expected east of the islands.
The public is being advised to avoid boating in these conditions. If travel by boat is necessary, exercise caution especially near reef lines and when entering or leaving harbors and inlets. A small craft advisory means that wind speeds of 24 to 38 mph are expected to produce hazardous wave conditions to small craft. (HSEM)
