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

* WHAT...High Rip Current Risk, life-threatening rip currents.

* WHERE...North-facing beaches of Puerto Rico, mostly in Aguada
  and Rincon.

* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
  from shore into deeper water, where it becomes difficult to
  return to safety.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Through Sunday, a north to northeast swell
  will build seas between 3 and 5 feet across the Atlantic
  waters. This will increase the risk of life- threatening rip
  currents across most exposed beaches along the Atlantic
  coastline of Puerto Rico.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
