EMO cautions public on high surf
The Emergency Management Office and National Weather Service on Guam maintained the previously issued high surf advisory, and also issued a small craft alert.
The agencies indicated that large north swells generated by a storm system east of Japan continues to affect Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
“Hazardous surf of 7 to 9 feet on the northwestern clockwise through northeastern exposures will persist through Friday. This surf…will be confined to northern clockwise through southeastern exposures,” EMO said.
Forecast for today through tomorrow feature northeast winds at 20 to 25 knots and combined seas at 11 to 13 feet.
The public is advised to avoid venturing to exposed beaches and reef lines on the north and west facing coasts, with EMO citing that the events are life threatening to anyone entering the water.
