...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IS CANCELLED...

Seas have subsided sufficiently to allow surf to fall below 9 feet
along east facing reefs. This will result in the risk of rip 
currents decreasing to moderate. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Continue to exercise caution along reef lines as strong rip currents
are still possible.
