* WHAT...Life threatening rip currents expected due to breaking 
  waves of up to around 6 feet. 

* WHERE...Beaches of Northwest Puerto Rico from Aguadilla to
  Dorado.

* WHEN...Today through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

There is a high risk of rip currents.

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 in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for

shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

* WHEN...Through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
