Hazardous conditions remain in place today across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Risks are not limited to coastal areas, as changing weather, rising water, and unstable conditions can quickly create dangerous situations. Early decisions and situational awareness are critical.
A High Surf Advisory is in effect across portions of Puerto Rico, with the highest risk along north- and east-facing coasts. High surf can be life-threatening not only for swimmers but also for those near the shoreline, as waves can surge onto land and sweep people off rocks and coastal areas. Residents and visitors are urged to stay away from rocks, jetties, and cliffs, avoid turning their back to the ocean, and keep children away from hazardous areas. Conditions can change rapidly, and sharing this information can help prevent injuries and save lives. | Una Advertencia de Oleaje Alto/Fuerte está en efecto en partes de Puerto Rico, con mayor riesgo en las costas del norte y este. El oleaje alto/fuerte representa un peligro no solo para quienes nadan, sino también para quienes se encuentran cerca de la orilla, ya que las olas pueden irrumpir tierra adentro y arrastrar a las personas desde rocas y áreas costeras. Se exhorta al público a evitar rocas, espigones y acantilados, no darle la espalda al mar y mantener a los niños alejados de zonas peligrosas. Las condiciones pueden cambiar rápidamente, y compartir esta información puede prevenir accidentes y salvar vidas.
Dangerous beach conditions are expected across Puerto Rico due to large breaking waves and rip currents, especially along north- and east-facing coasts, where high-risk conditions will make beaches unsafe for swimming. Life-threatening rip currents are likely in these areas. Residents and visitors are urged to stay out of the water, remain away from the shoreline, and follow posted warnings. Sharing this information can help prevent injuries and save lives. | Se esperan condiciones peligrosas en las playas de Puerto Rico debido a oleaje fuerte y corrientes marinas, especialmente en las costas del norte y este, donde las playas no serán seguras para nadar. Corrientes potencialmente mortales son probables en estas áreas. Se exhorta al público a mantenerse fuera del agua, alejado de la orilla y seguir las advertencias. Compartir esta información puede ayudar a prevenir incidentes y salvar vidas.
