  dangerous rip currents.

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

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL EXPIRE AT 4 PM CHST THIS AFTERNOON...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK WILL EXPIRE AT 4 PM CHST THIS
AFTERNOON...

North and trade swells have diminished over the last 12 to 24 hours,
allowing surf conditions to fall below hazardous levels for north 
facing reefs, and rip current risk to diminish to moderate for north 
and east facing reefs. The High Surf Advisory and High Rip Current
Risk were allowed to expire.

Surf may approach hazardous levels around Wednesday due to a pulse of
long-period north swell that will move into the region. At the same
time, surging trade winds will generate increased trade swell, and a
High Surf Advisory will likely be re-issued for north facing reefs,
in addition to a High Rip Current Risk for north and east facing
reefs.
