Rip Current Statement
Issued: 6:14 PM Apr. 5, 2026 – National Weather Service
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...East facing reefs of the Marianas. * WHEN...Through Tuesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The going trade-wind surge will keep the trade swell elevated, continuing the high risk of rip currents along east facing reefs. Surf will also be elevated along north facing reefs due to swell wrap around. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. &&
