Expected
Effective:
April 7, 2026 - 10:45pm

April 8, 2026 - 1:00pm
Description:
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents.
* WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Through Friday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from
shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strengthening easterly swell will continue to
bring a high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs of the
Marianas, now through at least late Friday afternoon. As tropical
disturbance Invest 90W passes near the Marianas, swells along the
lee side of said system may continue to bring elevated surf along
east and potentially south facing reefs during the weekend.

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.
