...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM CHST MONDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 7 to
  10 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 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.
