Share

Fresh trade winds and combined seas of 7 to 10 feet will produce conditions hazardous for operators of small craft but winds and seas should gradually subside today but then pick up again over the weekend, according to the CNMI Homeland Security and Emergency Management, citing data from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.

A high surf advisory is in effect until 6am today, Friday.

A small craft advisory is also in effect until 6am today, Friday.
Combined seas of 7 to 10 feet and northeast winds 15 to 20 knots with occasional stronger gusts will continue.

Those operating smaller vessels should 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. Do not venture near exposed reefs and beaches, especially those along north and west facing reefs as rip currents will be life threatening. (HSEM)
