coastlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high surf warning means that dangerous battering surfs of over 3 metres or over 10 feet will affect some coastlines in the warning area, producing very hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seas (significant wave heights): 2.1 to 3.1 metres (7 to 10 feet), occasionally or locally reaching near 3.7metres (12 feet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swell period: 12 to 13 seconds. Swells: North-northwest at 2.4 to 2.7 metres (8 to 9 feet) and occasionally higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surfs (breaking swells): Over 3.1 metres (over 10 feet). These conditions will be very conducive to dangerous rip currents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that surfs could be as much as twice the height of swells, depending on the bathymetry of the nearshore areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coastal flooding: High tides combined with onshore wind and swell actions will result in coastal flooding and beach erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential Impacts: Loss of life\u2013strong currents that can carry even the strongest swimmers out to sea; injuries to beachgoers; beach erosion; sea water splashing onto low-lying coastal roads; beach closures; disruptions to marine recreation and businesses; financial losses; damage to coral reefs; salt-water intrusion and disruptions to potable water from desalination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High surfs can knock spectators off exposed rocks and jetties.<br>Breaking waves may occasionally impact harbours making navigating the harbour channel dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precautionary actions: No one should enter the waters of the main warning areas. All are also urged to avoid rocky and or coastal structures along affected coastlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high surf advisory remains in effect for beaches on the south side. Bathe only where lifeguards are present or on the sheltered, less affected beaches. Extreme caution is still required by those using these alternate areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 near structures such as groins, jetties and piers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don\u2019t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please continue to monitor these hazardous, life-threatening marine conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/JWBUbh6zeYkKTzG4khGL3k\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2983604676\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP GROUP Urgent \u2013 Marine Weather MessageHigh Surf WarningAntigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services2:30 pm Wednesday 19 March 2025 \u2026High surf warning for the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla and Barbuda\u2026 Locations to be affected: Reefs and mainly exposed northern and north-facing coastlines with relatively shallow, gentle to moderately sloping, nearshore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":215089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-230147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Barbuda: High Surf Warning and Safety Tips - Antigua News Room<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Stay informed about the high surf warning in Barbuda.
