Rip currents until Saturday evening
The public is being warned that there is a high risk of rip currents through Saturday evening.
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Guam and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, dangerous rip currents are present along east facing reefs of the Marianas through Saturday evening. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
The public is advised to stay out of the water along east facing reef lines. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. (PR)
