339 AM ChST Sun May 10 2026

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.

* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.

* 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...Elevated trade swell, generated by a trade-
  wind surge caused by the pressure gradient between the
  subtropical ridge to the north and the unsettled pattern over
  western and central Micronesia, is producing a high risk of rip
  currents along east facing reefs. Trade swell and east-facing
  surf will be slow to diminish as Hagupit moves away, and the
  High Rip Current Risk was extended.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents will be life threatening. 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.

353 AM EDT Sat May 9 2026 /253 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026/

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Walton, Bay, and Gulf County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through this afternoon.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A short-lived surge of southeast wind from
  about midnight to 3 am CDT came with gusts to gale-force. The
  wind has died down now, but this kicked up enough surf to
  confidently bring a high risk of rip currents through this
  morning. The surf zone effects of the overnight wind surge will
  fade this afternoon, so the risk of rip currents will also fade
  away by late afternoon.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
