Combined seas of 9 to 11 feet will produce hazardous conditions for operators of small craft through this afternoon across Tinian and Saipan waters. Inexperienced marines, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid sailing in these conditions.

A high surf advisory is in effect for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan until 6 p.m. this evening. Hazardous surf of 7 to 10 feet along north facing reefs will continue this morning.
