Guam, Northern Mariana Islands Coastal Flood Watch | Effective 04/10/2026 23:54

* WHAT...For the High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves of 12 to 16 feet expected in the surf zone. For the High Surf Advisory and High Rip Current Risk, large breaking waves of 10 to 13 feet and dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Watch, significant coastal flooding of 2 feet or greater possible. * WHERE...North, east and south facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...For the High Surf Warning, from 6 PM Sunday to 6 PM ChST Thursday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM ChST Sunday. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Monday morning through Wednesday afternoon. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Sunday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur. Breaking waves can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas. Life- threatening swimming conditions and significant beach erosion can be expected. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong to near-gale trade winds, enhanced by TY Sinlaku, are producing an east swell near 10 feet and supporting hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents. A TY Sinlaku moves towards the Marianas swell and surf are expected to build. This will likely generate dangerous surf and increase the risk for coastal inundation, especially if TY Sunlaku moves through the Marianas around Monday night or Tuesday.
