Rip current risk until Friday night
Foaming waves in North Beach in Nazare, Portugal
The public is being warned that there is a high risk of rip currents through Friday night.
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, dangerous rip currents are present in east facing reefs of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota through 6am Saturday.
Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. The public is advised to stay out of the water along east facing reefs. Elsewhere, 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. (PR)
