...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS

AFTERNOON...

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...



* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 10 feet and dangerous rip

  currents.



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



* WHEN...Through this 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...Although the northerly swell remains, the 

  northeasterly swell that assisted in the development of the 

  hazardous surf along north facing reefs has shifted to the east. 

  This has allowed surf to fall below hazardous levels along north 

  facing reefs. A high risk for rip currents is expected to linger 

  for east facing through Tuesday afternoon as easterly swell remains

  elevated.



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.
