Aug 06, 2000Short-Term Forecast
Looking at winds and seas for tomorrow, everything looks good: winds at 10 knots from the south from Nunivak up to Port Clarence, increasing to 15 knots in the Bering Strait.
Seas are expected to be 4 feet up to Saint Lawrence Island, and then the island blocks the swell so that it's only expected to be 2 feet through the Bering Strait. With a south-southwest wind lying on top of the northward-flowing current, the sea state should be at a minimum and the ship will sail smoothly through the strait.
