Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely.

feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous
rip currents.

* WHERE...Along west-facing reefs.

Tropical Depression 19W, well northwest of Yap Island, are

high surf and dangerous rip currents along west-facing reefs.
Conditions may begin to subside Monday night, so conditions will
continue to be monitored.
