...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST THIS
AFTERNOON...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet and dangerous rip
  currents expected.

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

* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST this 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...Surf is then likely to fall below hazardous
  levels this evening as the pulse in northerly swell diminishes,
  which will also allow rip current risk to drop to moderate along
  north facing 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.
