...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents.

* WHERE...From Northwest to east-facing beaches, including beaches
  of Aguada and Rincon, and Culebra.

* WHEN...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 stronger pulse of the long period
  northerly swell will reach the northern coastal areas by Sunday
  likely prompting the issuance of additional High Rip Current
  Statements and also High Surf Advisories. 

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.

* 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...

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

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.
