Surf Zone Forecast for the Mariana Islands
National Weather Service Tiyan GU
224 AM ChST Mon Nov 24 2025

.DISCUSSION...The elevated east trade swell is expected to persist
into midweek, and the high risk of rip currents continues to be
expected along east facing reefs of the Marianas through at least
Wednesday night. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected along
north and south facing reefs for the next few days, as significantly
higher trade swell wraps around the islands and produces elevated surf
along southern exposures.

* 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.
