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

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

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

* WHEN...From late tonight through late Monday night.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Surf along east facing reefs is expected to
reach 9 ft as pulses of higher north swell and trade swell arrive.
Surf along north facing reefs could potentially reach up to 9 ft,
extending the high risk of rip currents to these reefs.

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
