It is important to note that wave conditions above 1.25 meters pose a significant risk for fishing boats, while waves above 1.5 meters are hazardous for barges, and waves exceeding 2.5 meters are particularly dangerous for ferry operations.

With the current weather conditions, residents are advised to take necessary preventive measures to protect their health, and maritime activities should exercise caution due to the presence of high waves.
