There is also a high risk of rip currents until this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, large breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet are expected in the surf zone on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Dangerous rip currents are also present, particularly in the north facing reefs of Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. <\/p>\n<p>These projections make for hazardous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. If caught in a rip current, do not swim against the current. Swim parallel to the shoreline, then back toward shore when able. <\/p>\n<p>The public is advised to avoid venturing out near reef lines facing north. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
