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. Localized coastal flooding is possible. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. All persons should refrain from entering the waters, due to the risks associated with high surf conditions and rip currents. 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. && $$ VIZ001-102200- /O.CON.TJSJ.SU.Y.0010.000000T0000Z-240411T2200Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.RP.S.0016.000000T0000Z-240412T2200Z/ St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands- 952 AM AST Wed Apr 10 2024 ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM AST THURSDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Life-threatening rip current conditions due to breaking waves up to 6 to 8 feet.
