...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

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

* WHEN...Through late Monday night.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A significant easterly swell produced by a
  trade-wind surge upstream is generating higher surf across the
  Marianas, which in turn is producing a high rip current risk along
  east facing reefs. This elevated trade swell is likely to persist
  for several days, before the trade-wind surge weakens slightly
  around the middle of next week, allowing the rip current risk to
  drop to moderate along said reefs.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
