.DISCUSSION...There will be a moderate risk of rip currents along
east facing reefs, with a low risk along all other reefs. A long-
period north swell emanating from distant Typhoon Halong will
increase surf along north facing reefs, and increase the risk of rip
currents to moderate by Saturday. There will also be a moderate risk
of lightning the next few days.

* Low Risk of rip currents - Strong currents can still occur near
jetties and reef channels. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

Moderate Risk of rip currents - Wave conditions support stronger or
more frequent rip currents. Always have a flotation device with you
in the water.

High Risk of rip currents - Large waves will produce strong rip
currents, especially along narrow reefs and beaches. Rip currents
will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, swim parallel
to the beach rather than against the current.
