* WHAT...Southwest winds 15 to 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt and seas around 10 feet. * WHERE...Chuuk Coastal Waters. * WHEN...Until 5 AM ChST Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Conditions will be hazardous to small craft. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Surging southwest winds to the south of Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) will produce seas hazardous to small craft through at least Tuesday as it tracks west, passing far north of Weno. Occasional gale-force gusts are expected. As this wind field is affected by the development and movement of Bavi far to the north, there is uncertainty as to when winds will begin to diminish, and this advisory may later need to be extended.
Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid boating in hazardous conditions.
Super Typhoon Bavi (09W) is currently located about 400 miles to the north-northeast of Chuuk near 12.5N 150.8E and is moving west- southwest at 8 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 160 mph. Chuuk is currently located within strengthening west-southwest inflow on the far southern periphery of STY Bavi, and will remain within its peripheral influence in the next few days as the storm strengthens and continues moving toward the Marianas. Chuuk is expected to remain outside of the direct wind field of Bavi, but surging west to southwest winds around 20 to 25 knots are expected to continue building across the region south of the storm. Models suggest west to southwest winds will peak sometime Saturday or Sunday, maintaining seas hazardous to small craft, and a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for Chuuk through at least Tuesday morning. Inter-island travel will be hazardous and should be avoided. Additionally, west to southwest swell looks to build as STY Bavi develops and moves away, which will lead to elevated. Hazardous surf of 8 to 10 feet has forced an issuance of a High Surf Advisory through at least Tuesday morning. At the same time, chances for locally heavy showers will increase through early next week as the strong west to southwest flow across the region funnels deep moisture into the trailing convergence behind STY Bavi. Near-gale to gale- force gusts are expected, especially near heavier showers.
