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 12 feet and supporting hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents. As TY Sinlaku moves towards the Marianas swell and surf are expected to rapidly build. This will generate dangerous surf and increase the risk for coastal inundation, especially as TY Sinlaku begins to move through the Marianas on Tuesday.
