event_narrativeThe high surf and heavy southerly swell began to affect south shores of the territory Wednesday, April 17 and was getting stronger by the hour with swell reaching heights of 8 feet in Pago Pago Harbour Thursday morning, April 18, 2002. The heavy swell caused the cancellation of the Long Boat race, which is the most attented activity of the Flag Day celebration. A bried turned of the winds Friday morning allowed the race to take place but in a much shorter track then it was planned. The high surf and heavy swell continued through April 29, 2002. The heavy swell and high surf was a combination of swell generated by a slow moving low pressure far south of the islands and brisk trades generated by a strong ridge of high pressure which persisted for almost two weeks just south of Samoa.
