  9 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 AM ChST Monday. For

* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As the northerly swell subsides on Sunday,
  the east-northeast trade swell is expected to increase. The rip

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.
