...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM CHST THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

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

* WHEN...From 3 PM ChST this afternoon through Sunday afternoon.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An east to northeast swell associated with
  Tropical Storm Saudel will bring an increase in surf and produce
  a high risk of rip currents along the east-facing reefs of the
  Marianas through at least Sunday afternoon. As Saudel moves
  closer to the far northern Marianas, surf builds along north-
  facing reefs, potentially becoming hazardous over the weekend.

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.
