Revised high wave alert
The National Centre for Oceanographic Studies and Research (INCOIS) has warned that there is a possibility of high waves of 3.2 to 3.3 meters and sea erosion in Kannur and Kasaragod (from Kunjathur to Kottakunnu) from 05.30 pm today (24/06/2025) to 08.30 pm on 26/06/2025. Fishermen and coastal residents in these areas should exercise special caution.

Alerts
1. As the sea is likely to become rough, people should move away from the danger areas as per the instructions of the authorities.
2. Taking small boats and yachts into the sea should be avoided during this time.
3. Landing fishing vessels in the sea during periods of high tide and rough seas is as dangerous as launching fishing vessels into the sea. Therefore, landing and landing should be avoided during periods of strong waves.
4. All activities, including beach-based tourism, should be completely avoided until the INCOIS warning is lifted.
5. Fishing vessels (boats, yachts, etc.) should be safely moored in the harbor. Maintaining a safe distance between boats can avoid the risk of collision. The safety of fishing equipment should be ensured.
6. Avoid trips to the beach and recreational activities in the sea completely.
7. Be especially careful as there is a possibility of coastal erosion.
