...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

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

* WHEN...From Sunday morning through Tuesday afternoon.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The trade swell will build as the trade-wind
  surge strengthens near and east of the Marianas. This will elevate
  surf along north and east facing reefs and generate a high risk
  of rip currents along east facing reefs through at least Tuesday
  afternoon.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents will be life threatening. 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 for help.

  Advisory and High Rip Current Risk, large breaking waves of 10 to 
  13 feet and dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Watch, 
  significant coastal flooding of 2 feet or greater possible.

  Thursday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM ChST Sunday. For
  the Coastal Flood Watch, from Monday morning through Wednesday
  afternoon. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Sunday
  afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property
  including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may
  be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur. Breaking waves can
  sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas. Life-
  threatening swimming conditions and significant beach erosion can
  be expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong to near-gale trade winds, enhanced by
  TY Sinlaku, are producing an east swell near 10 feet and supporting
  hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents. A TY Sinlaku moves
  towards the Marianas swell and surf are expected to build. This
  will likely generate dangerous surf and increase the risk for
  coastal inundation, especially if TY Sunlaku moves through the
  Marianas around Monday night or Tuesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening
surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside
infrastructure.

  Surf Advisory and High Rip Current Risk, large breaking waves of
  10 to 13 feet and dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood
  Watch, significant coastal flooding of 2 feet or greater
  possible.

* WHERE...North, east and south facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Warning, from 6 PM this evening to 6 PM
  ChST Thursday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM ChST this
  evening. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Monday morning
  through Wednesday afternoon. For the High Rip Current Risk,
  through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property
  including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may
  be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur. Breaking waves
  can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas.
  Life-threatening swimming conditions and significant beach
  erosion can be expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong to near-gale trade winds, enhanced by
  TY Sinlaku, are producing an east swell near 10 feet and
  supporting hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents. As TY
  Sinlaku moves towards the Marianas swell and surf are expected to
  build. This will likely generate dangerous surf and increase the
  risk for coastal inundation, especially if TY Sunlaku moves
  through the Marianas around Monday night or Tuesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening
surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside
infrastructure.
