...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...

Buoy and altimetry data suggest the east swell is no longer supportive
of hazardous surf of 8 feet or greater along east facing reefs. A
large, long-period north swell is expected to enter the region and
move into Kosrae Friday, building surf along north facing reefs. Surf
may become hazardous along north facing reefs Friday, which could
result in the issuance of a new High Surf Advisory for Kosrae.
