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. && $$ Montvila
