The warning comes as meteorological conditions have created hazardous sea state across multiple zones surrounding the island. Authorities have urged all maritime users, including fishing vessels and commercial operators, to remain vigilant and postpone non-essential voyages until conditions improve.
Coastal residents have been advised to stay clear of beaches and rocky outcrops during the period of high waves. The advisory particularly impacts small craft and fishing boats, which face increased risk during rough sea conditions.
Authorities are monitoring atmospheric patterns closely and are expected to issue updates as conditions evolve. Residents and maritime stakeholders are urged to monitor official channels for the latest guidance and any modifications to the advisory.
