Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe Marianas was under a seasonal trade-wind pattern, with the the primary swell being the trade swell, so highest surf was along east facing reefs and lower along west facing reefs. Rip Currents were likely associated with cuts or channels within the reef, which are know to generate strong currents even when surf is not abnormally high.
