For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...North facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 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...A weakening northerly swell will allow surf conditions to fall below hazardous levels, and rip current risk to drop to moderate along north facing reefs by late Sunday night. At the same time, trade swell is expected to increase, so the rip current risk is likely to become high along east facing reefs during this time. . 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. && $$ Bowsher
