Watch out for high waves even if the typhoon is far away

When a typhoon approaches, the waves get higher, and near the center of the typhoon, the wave height can exceed 10 meters. In coastal areas, caution is required not only for heavy rain and storms, but also for high waves.

Therefore, when a typhoon is approaching, what you should never do is to get close to the sea. Going out to see the ocean, surfing, or fishing is very dangerous, as you may be swept away by high waves.

Also, even if you are away from the typhoon, you can’t let your guard down. Even though the weather is calm, typhoon swells can reach us, causing high waves to rush in suddenly. Do not approach the sea unnecessarily when a wave warning or wave advisory is issued.
