Additionally, a cross-\nequatorial southwest to west wind will continue to affect the\nsouthern half of the RMI, with a related southwest to west swell of 1\nto 3 feet at Majuro, and 2 to 4 feet for the southern RMI, remaining\nlikely through Monday. It remains unclear if this will pose any\ncoastal erosion concerns, and any information to such effects should\nbe reported to the Majuro Weather Service Office when possible. At\nthe very least, mariners should take this unusual wind and swell\ndirection into consideration when making any inter-island travel\nplans."}
