A small craft advisory in effect from 6am Friday to 10am Sunday. This means that wind speeds of 20 to 25 knots are expected to produce wave conditions hazardous to small craft.

Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Guam and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, east winds of 20 to 25 knots and seas of 8 to 11 feet are expected in Marianas coastal waters. Conditions will be hazardous to small craft.

An incoming north swell, a stronger trade swell, and higher winds are going to produce sea conditions hazardous to small craft. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid boating in hazardous conditions. (PR)
