Rough seas are also expected over the following coastal waters, where mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels: Up to 4.0 m: The seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands; the northern seaboard of Ilocos Norte Up to 3.0 m: The seaboards of mainland Cagayan and Isabela; the western seaboards of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan, and Zambales Meanwhile, up to moderate seas will be over the following coastal waters, where mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions: Up to 2.5 m: The western seaboards of Bataan, Lubang Islands, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan including Calamian Islands, and Kalayaan Islands; the northeastern seaboard of Aurora Up to 2.0 m: The remaining seaboards of Bataan, Lubang Islands, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, and Aurora; the northern and eastern seaboards of Polillo Islands, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes, and Northern Samar; the eastern seaboards of Sorsogon, Surigao del Sur, and Davao Oriental; the western seaboards of Batangas, Antique, and Guimaras; the southern seaboards of Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque and Quezon; the southwestern seaboard of Iloilo; the northern and western seaboards of Ticao Island and Romblon; the seaboards of Camarines Sur.
