## extract

High Surf Advisory — Guam; Rota; Tinian; Saipan
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 9 to 11 feet and dangerous rip
currents expected.

* WHERE...Along west and north facing reefs.

* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Thursday.

* 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...A strong monsoon pattern continues to
produce hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents along
west and north-facing reefs. As influence from Typhoon Dolphin
on the monsoon pattern decreases, influence from Tropical Storm
Chan-Hom and other disturbances will increase. This will keep
surf elevated and above hazardous conditions for west and north
facing reefs through much of the coming week, and surf hazards
have been extended through Thursday afternoon. The High Surf
Advisory and High Rip Current Risk may be extended again next
week as the monsoon pattern, and associated west to northwest
swells, continue.
