Rip Current Statement
Issued: 5:52 AM Mar. 6, 2026 – National Weather Service
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CHST MONDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves between 7 to 10 feet and dangerous
rip currents.

* WHERE...North facing reefs of the Marianas. For
the High Rip Current Risk, north and east facing reefs.

* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Monday.

* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long-period northerly swell continues to
move through the Marianas, producing hazardous surf and dangerous
rip currents along north-facing reefs through Monday afternoon.
Over the weekend, a broad tropical disturbance will move near the
Marianas as a shear line becomes draped over the CNMI, leading to
an increase in north to northeast swell. This will lead to a high
risk of rip currents along east facing reefs through the weekend.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

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.
