## extract

High Surf Advisory — Guam; Rota; Tinian; Saipan
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Large breaking waves up to 11 feet expected in the surf
zone. Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...For the High Surf Advisory, along south and west facing
reefs of the Marianas. For the High Rip Current Risk, along south,
west, and north facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 4 PM ChST Thursday.
For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday afternoon.

* 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...Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) and the trailing
monsoon surge will keep producing significant swells from the west
and southwest. Large surf heights up to 11 feet can be expected
along west and south facing reefs at least through 4 PM Thursday.
As Bavi continues to pull away and the leading monsoon surge
weakens, swells and associated surf will continue to diminish. Even
so, surf will remain elevated enough to continue to produce high
risk of rip currents along south, west, and north facing reefs the
next few days, while dropping to moderate along north reefs
Thursday.
