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\nfoot (maybe a little more) at Majuro, and 2 to 4 feet for the\nsouthern RMI, remaining likely through Monday. It remains unclear if\nthis will pose any coastal erosion concerns, and any information to\nsuch effects should be reported to the Majuro Weather Service Office\nwhen possible. At the very least, mariners should take this unusual\nwind and swell direction into consideration when making any inter-\nisland travel plans."}
