Surf Zone Forecast for the Mariana Islands
National Weather Service Tiyan GU
553 PM ChST Fri Aug 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...A moderate risk of rip currents is expected along north
and east facing reefs for at least the next several days. As trade
swell and wind waves decrease, surf will diminish enough along all
reefs to allow the rip current risk to drop to moderate along north
facing reefs around midweek. A moderate risk of lightning is expected
through Sunday.

* Low Risk of rip currents - Strong currents can still occur near
jetties and reef channels. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

Moderate Risk of rip currents - Wave conditions support stronger or
more frequent rip currents. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

High Risk of rip currents - Large waves will produce strong rip
currents, especially along narrow reefs and beaches. Rip currents
will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel
to the beach rather than against the current.
