Chuuk-
452 PM ChST Sun Mar 24 2024
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM CHST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 9 ft.
* WHERE...North facing reefs of Chuuk.
* WHEN...Until 5 AM ChST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The north swell is expected to peak tonight.
Wave models are estimating a swell height up to 6 feet with a
period of 14 seconds, and this would be just enough to generate 9
foot surf. Surf is expected to drop after tonight as the northerly
swell decreases in both period and height, allowing surf to drop
below 9 ft Monday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM CHST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 9 ft.
* WHERE...North facing reefs of Palau.
* WHEN...Until 5 AM ChST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized
beach erosion.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Based on buoy and model data, the north to
northeast swell is still high enough to support 9 foot surf, so
the advisory has been extended through tonight. The north swell is
decreasing and should allow surf to drop below 9 feet Monday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

suggesting.
