* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A pulse of long-period northeast swell is
  beginning to move through the region, increasing surf and producing
  a high risk of rip currents for east facing reefs for the next few
  days.

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.
