## extract

Coastal Flood Statement — Yap; Melekeok; Airai; Koror; Peleliu; Angaur
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Dangerously large breaking waves of 12 to 16 feet.
Isolated minor coastal flooding expected.

* WHERE...North and west facing reefs and shorelines of Yap and
Palau.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Warning and Coastal Flood Statement,
until 5 AM ChST Thursday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 5 AM
Thursday to 5 PM ChST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Some water on low lying roads and property. Breaking
waves can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous
seas. Life-threatening swimming conditions and significant
beach erosion can be expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) passes well
north of the region, the trailing monsoon surge gradually shifts
northwest. Significant north to northwest swell and southwest
swell associated with this pattern will still persist over the
next several days, gradually weakening late week. Dangerous surf
of up to 16 feet along north and west facing reefs is expected
through tonight, capable of producing minor coastal flooding
along the respective shorelines. Then, surf is expected to fall
below dangerous levels of 15 ft Thursday morning, but is still
expected to remain hazardous through at least Friday afternoon.
