Rip Current Statement issued March 3 at 2:15AM ChST until March 4 at 4:00AM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A large swath of enhanced trade-winds extended east-northeast from Guam for several hundred miles. This is due to a tight pressure gradient as high pressure to our north is taking it's time to slide eastward. As such, it's not out of the question that the high risk for rip currents may need to be extended further with later forecasts. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If caught in a rip current, relax

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Surf observations and buoys show that northerly swell has diminished enough to no longer support a High Surf Advisory along north facing reefs. Elevated northeast trade swell is still expected to bring a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs through the weekend.
