914 PM AST Fri Mar 28 2025
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM AST SATURDAY
THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...
* WHAT...High Rip Current Risk, life-threatening rip current.
* WHERE...Beaches of northern Puerto Rico from Aguadilla to
Fajardo, Culebra and St. Croix.
* WHEN...From Saturday morning through late Sunday night.
* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to
return to safety.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.

The nearshore and off shore Atlantic and Caribbean Coastal Waters-
421 AM AST Fri Mar 28 2025
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Puerto Rico.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
.Excessive Rainfall...Flooding in urban areas, roads, small
streams, and washes, particularly across southwestern Puerto Rico.
Elsewhere, plan for water ponding on roads and in poorly drained
areas.
.Wind...Breezy conditions (18-22 kts | 21-25 mph), particularly
across exposed coastal areas of northern and southern Puerto Rico,
Vieques, and Culebra. Unsecured items could blow around.
.Marine Conditions...Small craft should exercise caution across
most local waters. For tonight, hazardous conditions for small
craft in areas with seas of 7 feet or higher, particularly across
the offshore Atlantic waters and Anegada Passage.
.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone across most local beaches. Isolated stronger rip
currents may occur elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties, and
channels.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
Enhanced shower and thunderstorm activity in the coming days will
elevate the risk of excessive rainfall and lightning hazards,
particularly on Saturday and Sunday. Strengthening winds will also
increase wind-related hazards along exposed coastal areas, while
deteriorating marine and surf conditions through the weekend into
early next week will sustain hazardous seas for small craft and
life-threatening rip currents for beachgoers.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed.
