.DISCUSSION...A moderate risk of rip currents is expected to
continue along north and east facing reefs into early next week.

westerly swell from now distant Fung-wong moves into the region,
remaining below hazardous levels at this time. This will introduce a
moderate risk of rip currents to west facing reefs starting tonight.

* 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.
