National Weather Service Tiyan GU
400 AM ChST Mon Jul 7 2025

.DISCUSSION...A low risk of rip currents is expected along all
reefs for most of the week. Surf and rip risk could rise toward the
weekend along west and north facing reefs, as a northwesterly swell
emanating from a distant tropical disturbance arrives to the region.
A moderate risk of lightning is expected for most of the week as an
unsettled pattern continues.

* Low Risk of rip currents - Strong currents can still occur near
jetties and reef channels. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

Moderate Risk of rip currents - Wave conditions support stronger or
more frequent rip currents. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

High Risk of rip currents - Large waves will produce strong rip
currents, especially along narrow reefs and beaches. If caught in a
rip current, swim parallel to the beach rather than against the
current.
