...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM CHST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 10 feet. * WHERE...North facing reefs of Pohnpei. * WHEN...Until 3 AM ChST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Latest Pohnpei buoy data shows combined seas around 6 to 9 feet, mainly comprised of an elevated, longer period north swell. The primary swell is around 5 to 7 feet with a period of 10 to 11 seconds, sufficient to generate hazardous surf around 9 to 10 feet along north facing reefs of Pohnpei. The primary swell energy will gradually shift north-northeast over the next few days as it continues to build, maintaining hazardous surf along north facing reefs through early Sunday.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
