This condition occurs every 14 days during the new and full moon phases.
The Oceanographic and Antarctic Institute of the Navy (Inocar) reports that there will be aguaje from this Monday the 17th until next Thursday the 20th of January on the coast Ecuadorian. This condition occurs every 14 days during the new and full moon phases, a period in which there is an increase in sea level and greater currents.
In these four days, according to this entity on its Twitter account, the amplitude of the tides will be presented at their maximum values: “The tide will rise and fall beyond the values usually observed.”
Given this, Inocar recommends fishermen and those who carry out different maritime and recreational activities to be careful along the entire coastline. This is because during this event the waves break with greater intensity and strong currents are formed.
Inocar cancels observation on coasts after eruption of volcano on the island of Tonga
The entity also states that These variations are not related to the disturbances in the sea level that were caused by the eruption of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Haapai volcano., located on the island of Tonga, more than 10,000 kilometers from Isla Mujeres (Mexico) and more than 12,000 from Puerto Rico.
The volcanic eruption caused a tsunami alert on the Pacific coast, which included Puerto Ayora (Galapagos), but which was ruled out in Ecuador on Saturday afternoon. (I)
