...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents.

* WHERE...Beaches of northern and eastern Puerto Rico.

* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to

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
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to
  12 feet. For the HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK, life-threatening rip 
  current.

* WHERE... For the HIGH SURF ADVISORY, the most vulnerable areas
  for high surf and beach erosion include Pinones along Road 187,
  Parcelas Suarez, Villas del Mar, and Villa Christiana in Loiza;
  Fortuna in Luquillo; Pueblo and Tamarindo in Aguadilla; Barrio
  Obrero, Pueblo and Jareaito in Arecibo; Las Boca in Barceloneta;
  Machuca in Manati; Puerto Nuevo in Vega Baja; Ocean Park in San
  Juan; and Barrio Espinal in Aguada. For the HIGH RIP CURRENT
  RISK all beaches along the northwest to northeast coasts of the
  islands.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory remains until 6 PM AST 
  monday. For the High Rip Current Risk remains through tuesday 
  afternoon 

* IMPACTS...FOR THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY, High waves that can wash 
  over jetties and sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. 
  Rough surf may also knock you down. Large breaking waves will 
  result in localized beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous 
  swimming conditions. FOR THE HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK, rip 
  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into 
  deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

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
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

  swimming conditions. FOR THE HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK, rip 
  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into 
  deeper water, where it becomes difficult to return to safety.

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
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away 
  from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to 
  return to safety. 

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
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
