Corrected the what and additional details sections.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM CHST MONDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 7 to 9
  feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip
  currents.

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

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 4 AM ChST Monday. For the
  High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight.

* 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...Significant northerly swells generated by
  distant synoptic systems are producing hazardous surf and a high
  risk of rip currents along north facing reefs of the Marianas
  through at least late tonight. Surf is then likely to fall below
  hazardous levels thereafter as this pulse in northerly swell
  diminishes, which will also allow rip current risk to drop to
  moderate along said reefs.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
