## extract

Rip Current Statement — Guam; Rota; Tinian; Saipan
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.

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

* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long-period east to northeast swell,
emanating from distant Typhoon Dolphin, is expected to develop a
high risk of rip currents along east-facing reefs of the
Marianas beginning Sunday afternoon. As Dolphin passes the far
northern CNMI, the long-period swell direction will likely
shift north early next week, and then northwest. As it does so,
a high risk of rip currents, and hazardous surf, is expected to
develop along north, then west facing reefs next week.
