As Dolphin passes the far northern CNMI, the long-period swell direction will likely shift north early next week, and then northwest. As it does so, a high risk of rip currents, and hazardous surf, is expected to develop along north, then west facing reefs next week. 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. && $$ DeCou
