Our friends at Nadraki have kindly given FijiMarinas.com the heads-up for heavy swells due to coincide with spring tides over the coming weekend (June 22nd & 23rd).
Indications are that Fiji could see swells of up to 3.5 to 4.5 metres in amplitude (7 to 9 metres crest to trough) over the coming weekend commencing later Saturday and peaking Sunday night.
The swells will approach Fiji from the south-southwest. The wave periods will initially be around 15 seconds but the period will decrease with time.
Heavy swells set to approach from the south-southwest.
It is likely that heavy swell warnings will be issued by Fiji Met Service within the next day or two for southward facing coasts along Viti Levu and also for islands in southern and central Lau, Lomaiviti, Kadavu, Beqa, Vatulele and the southern Mamanucas.
