| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | North swell caused the capsizing of a canoe at Gaum. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Just after 6 p.m. six people on an outrigger canoe were trying to exit the Agana Boat Basin through the channel. As they attempted this maneuver they were hit by large swells. These swells caused the canoe to overturn and people were thrown into the water. ||Guam Fire Department Search and Rescue personnel and local surfers came to the aid of paddlers who were in distress after the canoe overturned. Guam Fire Department (GFD) responded to the overturned canoe at 6:25 pm. The Fire Department rescued two men and a woman with their boat and transported them to shore. The other three men made it back to shore safely on their own. He added that one patient [the woman] was treated for scrapes and abrasions on the scene. ||Guam was under a high surf advisory and a small craft advisory at the time. A automated buoy located to the northwest of Guam, the Ritidian Buoy, recorded a large (max) wave of near 15 feet between 5:57 and 6:27 p.m. local time. The same buoy recorded increasing north swell through the day. The Boat Basin exits to the north and the waves do increase in this location as there are shallow areas and a slight constriction. |
