High Surf Advisory issued August 25 at 4:48PM AST until August 26 at 6:00PM AST by NWS San Juan PR

Effective: Mon August 25, 2025, 4:48 PM
Expires: Tue August 26, 2025, 1:00 AM

* WHAT...Breaking waves between 10 to 15 feet, resulting in life- threatening rip currents, beach erosion, and minor coastal flooding. * WHERE...Beaches along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, from Aguadilla to Fajardo. The most vulnerable areas for high surf, beach erosion, and coastal flooding include Pinones along road 187, Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa Cristiana in Loiza; Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in Aguadilla; Barrio Obrero, Pueblo and Jarealito in Arecibo; La Boca in Barceloneta; Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega Baja; Ocean Park in San Juan. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 6 PM AST this evening. For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM AST Tuesday. For the High Rip Current Risk through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, shallow flooding of vulnerable areas will result in a limited threat of property and structural damage near the waterfront and shoreline, with a higher threat near the time of high tide. Isolated road closures are possible. For the High Surf Advisory, high waves that can wash over jetties and sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. For the High Rip Current Risk, rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long-period northerly swells are forecast to peak today with seas building between 6 and 8 feet around 13-15 seconds. This will continue to produce large breaking waves and minor coastal flooding along the beaches from northwestern to northeastern Puerto Rico. The next high tides are expected as follows: In San Juan, 10:44 PM AST at 1.4 feet. In Fajardo, 10:29 PM AST at 1.4 feet. In Arecibo, 10:12 PM AST at 1.60 feet. In Aguadilla, 9:55 PM AST at 1.5 feet.

There is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
