The Solomon Islands Meteorological Service (SIMS) has cancelled the swell advisory previously issued for low-lying and flat coastal areas of several provinces.
In a statement issued at 7:00am on Saturday, 25 April 2026, the advisory covering Rennell and Bellona, Western, South Makira, Guadalcanal and the Russell Islands has now been lifted.
SIMS said the moderate southerly swells, previously expected to reach between 2.5 to 3.0 metres from the south of Solomon Islands waters in the Coral Sea, have now eased and are below advisory thresholds.
“The swell conditions are now easing and no longer meet advisory levels,” the statement said.
The Met Service confirmed that this is the final update on the swell advisory.
Authorities urge coastal communities to remain vigilant and continue monitoring local weather updates as conditions may change.
