* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves around 6 ft, higher at times. * WHERE...East and northern beaches of Puerto Rico, and St. Croix. * WHEN...Through late Sunday 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As pulses of the long-period northeast to east swell continue to reach our regional waters from the distant Hurricane Kirk, the Rip Current Risk Statement may be extended through early next week.

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.
