Special Weather Statement — Majuro Coastal Waters
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
Lowered the swell at Majuro to 1 foot
Corrected typo

...A SOUTHWEST TO WEST SWELL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY...

Majuro sits between a tropical circulation west of Pohnpei, and
another weaker circulation east of Majuro. Additionally, a cross-
equatorial southwest to west wind will continue to affect the
southern half of the RMI, with a related southwest to west swell of 1
foot (maybe a little more) at Majuro, and 2 to 4 feet for the
southern RMI, remaining likely through Monday. It remains unclear if
this will pose any coastal erosion concerns, and any information to
such effects should be reported to the Majuro Weather Service Office
when possible. At the very least, mariners should take this unusual
wind and swell direction into consideration when making any inter-
island travel plans.
