The most vulnerable areas for high surf and beach erosion include Pinones along road 187, Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa Cristiana in Loiza; Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in Aguadilla; Barrio Obrero, Pueblo and Jarealito in Arecibo; La Boca in Barceloneta; Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega Baja; and Ocean Park in San Juan. * WHEN...For the High Risk of Rip Currents, through Sunday afternoon. For the High Surf Advisory, through 6 AM AST Sunday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from midnight tonight through 10 AM AST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Building seas, generated by pulses of long- period northerly swells, will promote life-threatening rip current and dangerous swimming conditions through the weekend. There is a high chance that the Coastal Flood Advisory may be extended through Saturday afternoon. For San Juan in La Puntilla station the next high tides will be today at 5:08 PM of 0.79 ft and on Saturday, at 7:22 AM of 1.75 ft and at 6:07 PM of 0.78 ft. 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 High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. && $$ PRZ012-VIZ001-102345- /O.EXT.TJSJ.SU.Y.0002.250111T0400Z-250112T1000Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.RP.S.0001.000000T0000Z-250112T2200Z/ Culebra-St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands- 1137 AM AST Fri Jan 10 2025 ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 6 AM AST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves around 8 feet and occasionally higher, increasing to around 11 feet tonight. * WHERE...In Puerto Rico, beaches of Culebra.

For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves around 14 feet and occasionally higher. For the High Risk of Rip Currents, life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Beaches of northern Puerto Rico, from Rincon to Fajardo. The most vulnerable areas for high surf and localized beach erosion include Pinones along road 187, Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa Cristiana in Loiza; Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in Aguadilla; Barrio Obrero, Pueblo and Jarealito in Arecibo; La Boca in Barceloneta; Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega Baja; and Ocean Park in San Juan. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, through 8 PM AST Saturday. For the High Surf Advisory, through 6 PM AST Sunday. For the High Risk of Rip Currents, through Sunday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Large breaking waves will result in some beach erosion with only minor damage possible to dune structure. Shallow flooding of vulnerable areas will result in limited threat of property and structural damage near the waterfront and shoreline, with a higher threat near the time of high tide. Isolated road closures are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A long-period northerly swell continues to spread across the local waters. Expect life-threatening rip currents and dangerous swimming conditions, with localized beach erosion possible through the weekend.

For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves around 14-15 feet and occasionally higher. For the High Risk of Rip Currents, life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Beaches of northern Puerto Rico, from Rincon to Fajardo. The most vulnerable areas for high surf and localized beach erosion include Pinones along road 187, Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa Cristiana in Loiza; Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in Aguadilla; Barrio Obrero, Pueblo and Jarealito in Arecibo; La Boca in Barceloneta; Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega Baja; and Ocean Park in San Juan. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, through 6 AM AST Sunday. For the High Surf Advisory, through 6 PM AST Sunday. For the High Risk of Rip Currents, through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Large breaking waves will result in some beach erosion with only minor damage possible to dune structure. Shallow flooding of vulnerable areas will result in limited threat of property and structural damage near the waterfront and shoreline, with a higher threat near the time of high tide. Isolated road closures are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A long-period northerly swell continues to spread across the local waters. Expect life-threatening rip currents and dangerous swimming conditions, with localized beach erosion possible through the weekend. The next high tides are expected as follows: In San Juan, tomorrow at 8:17 AM AST at 1.75 ft; in Arecibo, tomorrow at 7:31 AM AST at 1.99 ft; tomorrow in Aguadilla, at 7:24 AM AST at 1.50 ft; and in Fajardo, at 7:52 AM AST at 1.68 ft. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. 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.
