High Surf Advisory
Statement as of 1:19 PM AST on November 9, 2009


... High surf advisory remains in effect until 4 PM AST Wednesday...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 4 PM AST Wednesday.

Long period northerly swells will affect the north coast of Puerto
Rico... Culebra... Vieques... and the U.S. Virgin Islands today through
Wednesday. Swells will peak Wednesday morning and slowly subside
thereafter.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

For the Atlantic waters along the north facing beaches

These long period swells will produce large breaking waves of 10 to
15 feet along the local reefs... beaches and Shoals of the local
islands Monday through Wednesday. Therefore... a high surf advisory
has been issued.

These breaking waves will generate strong and dangerous currents
within the surf zone... called rip currents. These narrow outward
flowing currents can carry people and animals away from the coast
line and out to sea. If you become caught in a rip current... do not
panic. Calmly... remain afloat... gather your bearings relative to the
beach... and swim parallel to the beach. You will eventually leave
the grip of this narrow current... and be able to safely swim to
shore.

Local beach goers... and inexperienced surfers and swimmers are urged
to stay out of the water until these hazardous surf conditions
subside. Persons on the beach should be vigilant for large breaking
waves surging upon the shore... which can carry people of all sizes
into the ocean. You should avoid being near the shore line and stay
off of rock formations.

These surging waves will also create the potential for beach erosion
during times of high tide.

The times of the high tide for the following locations are:

San Juan harbor: 1.9 feet at 2:43 PM this afternoon. 1.2 feet at
2:50 am on Tuesday.

Magens Bay St thomas:1.7 feet at 3:09 PM AST this afternoon. 0.8 feet
at 2:52 PM on Tuesday.

Christiansted St croix: 1.0 feet at 1:06 PM AST this afternoon.
1.0 feet at 12:59 PM on Tuesday.

Stay tuned for any additional statements or possible watches or
warnings from your National Weather Service forecast office in San
Juan.
