Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
An east to northeast swell associated with Typhoon Saudel will bring an increase in surf and produce a high risk of rip currents along the east-facing reefs of Guam and Rota through at least Sunday afternoon. As Saudel moves closer to the far northern Marianas, surf will build along north facing reefs, potentially becoming hazardous later this weekend.
Recommendations
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.

ESFGUM This Hydrologic Outlook is for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. A monsoon surge is developing well south of Tropical Storm Saudel and will lift northward across the Marianas late this weekend and into next week. Some uncertainty remains regarding potential rainfall impacts, but early model ensemble guidance estimates suggest 4 to 8 inches of rainfall falling Sunday night through Thursday across Guam and Rota, and 3 to 7 inches across Saipan and Tinian. Locally higher amounts will be possible, especially if the monsoon surge is stronger than forecasted. Scattered to numerous locally heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible through the week. Residents on these islands need to closely monitor this developing situation as flash flood watches, flood advisories and flash flood warnings could be issued later. If living near streams and rivers, prepare to move items away from stream and river banks. Make sure storm drains nearby are not clogged, especially If living at low-lying areas. This product will be updated once a day or replaced with a Flash Flood Watch.
