...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE MONDAY
NIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...Through late Monday night.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A significant easterly swell produced by a
  trade-wind surge upstream is generating higher surf across the
  Marianas, which in turn is producing a high rip current risk along
  east facing reefs. This elevated trade swell is likely to persist
  for several days, before the trade-wind surge weakens slightly
  around the middle of next week, allowing the rip current risk to
  drop to moderate along said reefs.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, 
relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a 
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the 
shore and call or wave for help.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE MONDAY
NIGHT...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 10 feet in the surf zone and
  dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...For the High Surf Advisory, north facing reefs of the
  Marianas. For the High Risk of Rip Currents, north and east facing
  reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM ChST Tuesday. For
  the High Rip Current Risk, through late Monday night.

* 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...

Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...Through late Monday night.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from
  shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Recent buoy polar spectrum data indicates that
  the primary swell energy continues to shift more to the east,
  diminishing influence along north facing exposures more than
  previously expected. As such, this allowed surf to fall below
  hazardous levels, as well as allowed the rip current risk to drop 
  to moderate, along north facing reefs of the Marianas. Even so, 
  surf is expected to continue to hover just below hazardous 
  criteria, so caution is advised for those venturing out to the 
  beaches the next several days.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the 
current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. 
If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
