...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST SUNDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, hazardous surf of 7 to 10 feet
  expected in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous
  rip currents expected.

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

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory and High Rip Current Risk, until
  4 PM ChST Sunday.

* 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...Significant northerly swells generated by
  distant synoptic systems is producing hazardous surf and a high
  risk of rip currents along north facing reefs of the Marianas
  through at least Sunday afternoon. Surf is then likely to fall
  below hazardous levels thereafter as this pulse in northerly swell
  diminishes, which will also allow rip current risk to drop to
  moderate along said reefs.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous
surf conditions.

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.
