...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IS NO LONGER EXPECTED...

The easterly trade swell has begun to ease, allowing the risk of 
rip currents to drop to moderate along east facing reefs. Seas and 
surf look to come back up this weekend, however, as the next 
trade-wind surge builds east of the Marianas, and a high rip current
risk may return.
