Hey there, surfers! Welcome to your go-to surf forecast report straight from the National Weather Service. Let's dive into the current surf conditions for the Mariana Islands issued by NWS Tiyan, Guam.

This weekend, we're looking at a moderate risk of rip currents along the east-facing reefs with a side of a moderate risk of lightning.

**Tonight through Saturday night**:
- **Rip current risk**: Moderate
- **Surf Height**
- North facing reefs: 1 to 3 feet

**Outlook**:
An easterly swell is expected to build over the weekend, adding 1 to 2 feet to the surf height along east-facing reefs. However, the moderate risk of rip currents will persist.

**Tide information for the next 36 hours**:
- At various locations like Apra Harbor, Guam, Rota Island, Tinian Island, and Tanapag Harbor, Saipan.

Remember, safety first:
- **Low risk of rip currents**: Strong currents can still occur near jetties and reef channels. Always have a flotation device with you in the water.
- **Moderate risk of rip currents**: Wave conditions support stronger or more frequent rip currents. Keep that flotation device nearby!
- **High risk of rip currents**: Large waves can create strong rip currents, especially along narrow reefs and beaches. If caught, swim parallel to the beach.

So keep an eye on the surf, watch out for those currents, and, most importantly, have a blast out there riding the waves!
