The public is being warned of a high risk of rip currents through late Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Guam and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, dangerous rip currents are present in east-facing reefs of the Marianas. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. <\/p>\n
An east swell is expected to further diminish slightly, causing rip risk to briefly fall to moderate throughout the next 24 hours. However, east swell rebuilds again starting today, Thursday. <\/p>\n
The public is being advised to stay out of the water along east facing reef lines. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don\u2019t 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.
