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. && $$ PRZ010-012-VIZ001-100830- /O.CON.TJSJ.CF.Y.0002.000000T0000Z-260210T2200Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.SU.Y.0002.000000T0000Z-260210T2200Z/ /O.CON.TJSJ.RP.S.0006.000000T0000Z-260212T1000Z/ Mayaguez and Vicinity-Culebra- St.Thomas...St. John...and Adjacent Islands- 826 PM AST Mon Feb 9 2026 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM AST TUESDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM AST TUESDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding.
