...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.

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

* WHEN...Through late Wednesday night.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated easterly trade swell is expected
  to persist through midweek, maintaining a high risk of rip
  currents along east facing reefs of the Marianas through
  Wednesday night. Swell and associated surf is expected to
  diminish through the second half of the week, which may allow
  the high rip current risk to fall to moderate come Thursday.

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.
