EVALUATION

BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA THERE IS NO DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI
THREAT TO THE STATE OF HAWAII. THEREFORE THE TSUNAMI WATCH FOR
HAWAII IS CANCELLED.

HOWEVER SOME COASTAL AREAS IN HAWAII COULD EXPERIENCE SMALL SEA
LEVEL CHANGES AND STRONG OR UNUSUAL CURRENTS LASTING UP TO
SEVERAL HOURS. THE ESTIMATED TIME SUCH EFFECTS MIGHT BEGIN IS

1223 AM HST 13 JAN 2007

RECREATIONAL BOATERS AND SWIMMERS SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS AND
EXERCISE APPRPRIATE CAUTION AS EVEN SMALL CURRENTS OR UNUSUAL
SEA LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS COULD PRESENT A HAZARD TO THESE ACTIVITIES.

IN ADDITION DUE TO THE HIGH SURF CURRENTLY AFFECTING HAWAII
THE SMALL SEA LEVEL CHANGES COULD INCREASE THE IMPACT OF THE
SURF WAVES.

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL MESSAGE ISSUED FOR THIS EVENT UNLESS
ADDITIONAL DATA ARE RECEIVED.
