Details

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...South and west facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Monday. * 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...Surf will remain hazardous longer than previously anticipated, so the High Surf Advisory and High Rip Current Risk were extended until Monday afternoon. As Typhoon Champi continues moving away from the region, the dominant southwesterly swell will bring hazardous surf and dangerous rip currents to south and west facing reefs.

What to do: Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

How these alerts work

  • Alerts are the National Weather Service CAP alerts (api.weather.gov), refreshed every two minutes. Tests and exercises are left out; only actual alerts appear.
  • The EAS code comes from the event code in the SAME header of the alert (TOR, SVR or FFW, for example). Alerts the Weather Service does not put out over EAS, including most advisories, read "not sent over EAS".
  • Your state EAS plan and your decoder settings decide whether your station relays a given alert.

Alert text comes from the National Weather Service. Neither the NWS nor the FCC produces this page.
