DISCUSSION
THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS CURRENTLY LOW ALONG ALL REEFS OF THE
MARIANAS AND IS EXPECTED TO STAY THAT WAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
ONLY A VERY SMALL SOUTHWEST SWELL AND EAST-NORTHEAST SWELL REMAINS.
THE SOUTHWEST SWELL WILL LIKELY START TO INCREASE WEDNESDAY DUE TO AN
EXPECTED TROPICAL DISTURBANCE DEVELOPING TO THE NORTHEAST AND ITS
ASSOCIATED MONSOON INFLOW SHIFTING NORTH INTO THE MARIANAS. THERE
WILL BE A MODERATE RISK OF LIGHTNING SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY,
AND THEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

* LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS - STRONG CURRENTS CAN STILL OCCUR NEAR
JETTIES AND REEF CHANNELS. ALWAYS HAVE A FLOTATION DEVICE WITH YOU
IN THE WATER.
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS - WAVE CONDITIONS SUPPORT STRONGER OR
MORE FREQUENT RIP CURRENTS. ALWAYS HAVE A FLOTATION DEVICE WITH YOU

CURRENTS, ESPECIALLY ALONG NARROW REEFS AND BEACHES. RIP CURRENTS
WILL BE LIFE THREATENING. IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT, SWIM PARALLEL
