...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.

...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.
