Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The north swell built in quicker than anticipated. This swell is expected to gradually build through the work week. Looking further ahead a tropical disturbance is anticipated to move near the Marianas, this will keep surf elevated, albeit on different reefs. South and west facing reefs should especially pay attention as this continues to develop. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. 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. && $$ Bowsher

For the High Rip Current Risk, through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long-period northerly swell continues to move through the Marianas, producing hazardous surf and dangerous rip currents along north-facing reefs through Monday afternoon. Over the weekend, a broad tropical disturbance moves to the south, in Yap State, and a shear line becomes draped over the CNMI, leading to an increase in north to northeast swell. This could potentially lead to a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs over the weekend. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, relax and float.
