EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING... 
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM TUESDAY THROUGH 
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Hazardous surf of 8 to 10 feet expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...North and east facing reefs for Tinian and Saipan, along 
  west and north facing reefs for Guam and Rota. 

* WHEN...From 6 AM Tuesday to 6 AM Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized 
  beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away 
  from shore into deeper water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Avoid venturing near reef lines facing north and east. Swimming and 
snorkeling in these conditions will be risky. Inexperienced swimmers 
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

If caught in a rip current, don't swim against the current. Swim in 
the direction following the shoreline, then head for the beach when 
you get out of the current.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS HAS BECOME MODERATE...

Tropical Depression 16W did not intensify as much as previously
expected. Therefore, the winds were less, the seas were less, and
the resulting surf is now less. Please refer to the surf forecast
for more information on the moderate risk of rip currents.
