...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM NOON AST TODAY THROUGH
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...High Rip Current Risk, life-threatening rip currents.

* WHERE...North and east facing beaches of Puerto Rico.

* WHEN...From noon AST today through late Sunday night.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A long period northeasterly swell generated
  by Major Hurricane Humberto will gradually increase seas across
  the Atlantic waters and passages throughout the weekend. This
  swell will result in breaking waves around 6 feet, and
  occasionally higher, with life-threatening rip currents from
  late this afternoon along the northern beaches of PR. The high
  risk of rip currents will spread across the rest of the islands
  on Sunday.

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.
