Details: 
...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM CHST TUESDAY...

* WHAT...Northeast winds 15 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt and
seas 7 to 10 feet expected.

* WHERE...Tinian and Saipan Coastal Waters.

* WHEN...Until 5 PM ChST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Conditions will be hazardous to small craft.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Winds and seas will continue to increase
from north to south across the Marianas as a southward-moving
shear line gradually sweeps the area. Winds are expected to
sustain at around 22 knots as combined seas build to around 10
feet, generating elevated, choppy sea conditions hazardous to
small craft. After a brief lull in hazardous conditions Tuesday,
seas and winds will rapidly increase Tuesday night as a
significant trade-wind surge builds behind the shear line,
reinforcing the north-northeast swell and wind waves. Combined
seas may reach 15 feet over eastern portions of Tinian and
Saipan waters by Wednesday evening as winds become fresh to
strong, with frequent near-gale to gale-force gusts possible.
Seas and winds will begin to relax by the end of the week, after
a peak in hazardous conditions around Wednesday. However, as
seas remain elevated, a Small Craft Advisory may need to be
maintained into the weekend.

Information: 
Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller
vessels, should avoid boating in hazardous conditions.
