Oceanographic situation assessment

In the North and Central East Sea (including Hoang Sa archipelago), wave heights range from 3 to 5m; in the South East Sea (including Truong Sa archipelago), the Central Central and South Central coasts, wave heights generally range from 2 to 4m; in other areas, wave heights range from less than 2m.
High tide warning, from October 19 to October 22, the tide level along the Southeast coast will remain high. High tides occurring in the early morning and late afternoon will increase the risk of flooding in low-lying coastal areas, riverbanks, and areas outside the dykes in the Southeast and slow down the flood drainage process, in case of flooding on the Mekong River.
