## extract

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.
