Rip Current Statement — Guam; Rota Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely. * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An east to northeast swell associated with Tropical Storm Saudel will bring an increase in surf and produce a high risk of rip currents along the east-facing reefs of Guam and Rota through at least Sunday afternoon. As Saudel moves closer to the far northern Marianas, surf builds along north- facing reefs, potentially becoming hazardous later this weekend.
