Rip Current Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
April 4, 2026 - 10:58am
Expires:
April 5, 2026 - 1:00am
Description:
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents expected.
* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...From this morning through Tuesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The trade swell will build as the trade-
wind surge strengthens near and east of the Marianas. This will
elevate surf along north and east facing reefs and generate a
high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs through at
least Tuesday afternoon.
Instruction:
Rip currents will be life threatening. 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.
