Kosrae's Coast

Sea-levels are forecast to be higher than normal over the next three months. The highest tides are likely to occur on:

• Monday 28 – Wednesday 30 Oct
• Around Thursday 14th and between Monday 25 – Friday 29 November

During these periods (and possibly the days just before and afterwards) flooding of low lying areas is more likely to occur, particularly if larger waves coincide with high tide. Wave overwashing at places such as Paal and Mosral is highly likely.

Sea-levels are forecast to be slightly below normal over the next three months as weak El Nino conditions persist across the Pacific Ocean.

The highest tides are likely to occur on:

• Wednesday 03 – Thursday 04 July
• Friday 02 August

During these periods (and possibly the days just before and afterwards) flooding of low lying areas is more likely to occur, particularly if larger waves coincide with high tide. Wave overwashing at places such as Paal and Mosral is highly likely.

Sea levels are likely to be around normal for the next few months despite weak El Nino conditions beginning to form. Some forecast models are suggesting a slightly higher mean sea level, some slightly lower.

The December to February period is normally a time of higher high tides when there is usually an increased risk of high tide flooding. High tides are expected on the following dates:

Saturday 8th December
Friday 21 to Tuesday 25th December
Sunday 6 to Tuesday 8th January
Saturday 19 to Thursday 24th January
Monday 18 to Thursday 21st February

During these periods (and possibly the days just before and afterwards) flooding of low lying areas is likely to occur, particularly if larger waves coincide with high tide. Wave overwashing at places such as Paal and Mosral is highly likely.

Sea-levels around Kosrae are likely to be close to normal over the next few months.

Higher than normal tides are expected on the following dates:

• Friday 23 – Sunday 25 November

During these periods (and possibly the days just before and afterwards) flooding of low lying areas is likely to occur, particularly if larger waves coincide with high tide. Wave overwashing at places such as Paal and Mosral is highly likely.

Higher than normal tides are expected on the following dates:

• Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd March

Sea-levels around Kosrae are likely to be between 3-5 inches higher than normal over the next few months.

Some of the highest tides of the year also tend to occur during the December to February period. With higher than normal sea-levels, high tides will be pushed even higher than they normally are, resulting in very high water levels at high tide around every Spring tide over the next 3 months.

High tides above 7 feet are expected on the following dates:

• Saturday 2nd to Thursday 7th December
• Sunday 17th to Thursday 21 December
• Sunday 31st December to Friday 5th January
• Monday 15th January to Saturday 20th January
• Monday 29th January to Saturday 5th February
• Wednesday 14 February to Sunday 18th February
• Wednesday 28th February to Saturday 3 March

During these periods (and possibly the days just before and afterwards) flooding of low lying areas is likely to occur, particularly if larger waves coincide with high tide. Wave overwashing at places such as Paal and Mosral is highly likely.
