Updated for the WHERE additions and Additional Details.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST WEDNESDAY...
...HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Dangerously large breaking waves up to 16 feet. Minor
  coastal flooding expected. Life-threatening rip currents.

* WHERE...For the Coastal Flood Advisory and High Surf Warning, along
  south and west facing shores of the Marianas. For the High Rip
  Current Risk, along south, west and north facing shores of the
  Marianas.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Warning, until 4 PM ChST Thursday. For the
  Coastal Flood Advisory, until 4 PM ChST Wednesday. For the High 
  Rip Current Risk, through Friday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated
  road closures expected. 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...Typhoon Bavi (09W) and the trailing monsoon
  surge will keep producing significant swells that will continue to
  pummel the Marianas. Dangerous surf heights of up to 16 ft and
  coastal inundation of 1 to 2 ft can be expected now through late
  this afternoon, especially along west-facing shores. As Bavi
  continues to pull away and the leading monsoon surge weakens,
  swells and associated surf will gradually diminish, potentially
  dropping below dangerous levels by Thursday. Even so, surf will
  remain elevated enough to continue to produce high risk of rip
  currents along south, west and north facing reefs the next few
  days, while dropping to moderate along north reefs Thursday.

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.

  west, and north facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 4 PM ChST Thursday.

Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

Wave heights on the Tanapag buoy have diminished by 2 feet in the
past 24 hours. This means very few if any waves will be able to
create 9 foot surf when breaking on the shore, so the high surf
advisory and high risk of rip currents are both being allowed to
