The waves, under average wind (ENE, 1-20 knots) conditions, are 2.5 to 3.0 feet high in the areas unprotected to windward by islands and reefs.

All boating will be rough and wet so that protection of equipment from salt spray and securing for pounding and rolling are important factors to be considered, ‘Sée.Appertix F for Marine Craft Beaching Conditions at Bikini. ‘See-Appendia G for Wave, Wind and Current Conditions at Bikini. -be Eniwetok: The H&N and Navy boat pools will consist of the same type craft as at Bikini in sufficient numbers to provide necessary surface transportation.
