Rip Current Statement issued March 16 at 10:54AM AST until March 17 at 6:00AM AST by NWS San Juan PR

Effective: Sun March 16, 2025, 10:54 AM
Expires: Sun March 16, 2025, 7:00 PM

* WHAT...Breaking waves around 6 feet, and occasionally higher, resulting in life-threatening rip currents. * WHERE...Beaches along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, from Rincon to Fajardo, as well as northern exposed beaches of Culebra, St Thomas and St. John. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A pulse of a long-period northerly swell spreading across the Atlantic waters and local passages will promote life-threatening rip currents. Therefore, the High Rip Current Risk continues in effect through late tonight.

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.
