Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA shearline dropping south into the Marianas with fresh to strong winds generated a strong northeast swell, which created high surf within Kilo Wharf due to swell refraction at the opening of the harbor.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA fetch of 25 to 30 knots winds created a large northeast swell of about 8 feet at 10-12 seconds, according to buoys around Guam. Kilo Wharf is on the west side of Guam, but swell refraction of the northeast swell allowed some of the energy to enter the harbor which is used by the US Navy. This high swell and surf within the harbor led to an incident resulting in at least $1M USD in damage involving the USS Nimitz and 2 tugs.
