Large breaking waves will result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. For the High Rip Current Risk, rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Life-threatening rip currents will continue across the north-facing beaches of the islands through most of the week due to pulses of long period northerly swells. However, a larger, northwesterly swell will arrive as early as late tonight, building seas between 8 and 12 feet at 13 to 15 seconds. This will likely result in Coastal Flood and High Surf Advisory conditions, particularly from the west-northwest to northeast coast of Puerto Rico from Thursday through Friday. The next high tides are expected as follows: In San Juan, at 12:04 PM AST Thursday at 0.69 feet and 2:02 AM AST Friday at 1.30 feet. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. && $$ PRZ010-201000- /O.CON.TJSJ.CF.Y.0002.250320T1000Z-250321T1000Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.SU.Y.0010.250320T1000Z-250321T2200Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.RP.S.0015.250320T1000Z-250322T1000Z/ Mayaguez and Vicinity- 959 PM AST Wed Mar 19 2025 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM THURSDAY TO 6 AM AST FRIDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM THURSDAY TO 6 PM AST FRIDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM AST THURSDAY THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Breaking waves around 8 to 14 feet, and occasionally higher, resulting in life-threatening rip currents, beach erosion, and minor coastal flooding. * WHERE...Beaches of western Puerto Rico.
