...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY

NIGHT...



* WHAT...Dangerous life-threatening rip currents due to breaking 

  waves around 7 feet. 



* WHERE...Beaches along the northern coastline of Puerto Rico,

  from Rincon to Fajardo. 



* WHEN...Through late Wednesday night.



* IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers 

  away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult 

  to return to safety. 



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



There is a high risk of rip currents.



Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away

from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the

sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties

and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and

signs.



If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain

calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for

help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to

shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to

swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
