JAKARTA - High tidal waves - not tsunami's - that have damaged hundreds of houses along many of Indonesia's western coastlines continue to hit the area for a third day, forcing fishermen to stay on land and keeping tourist away from the beaches. Until now only one person is killed, dozens of fishing boats were destroyed as waves reached heights of seven meters in some areas.
Wave reaching heights of up to two meters still pounded southern beaches of Java today. Officials warned fishermen to stay on land and surfing was not allowed on the popular beaches of Kuta on the resort island of Bali. “Today the waves have decreased relatively. Our forecast for tomorrow is below 1.5m,” said Kukuh Ribudiyanto, an official at the national meteorology and geophysics agency (BMG). He also explained that the waves were caused by an accumulation of winds in one area.
Waves could again reach heights up to three meters in the Indian Ocean, the western part of Java. Among the worst hit area's until now is Sukabumi in West Java where more than 600 people had to leave their houses.
