BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Marine conditions will remain somewhat hazardous through the next several days as strong high pressure over the Atlantic continues to support moderate to fresh easterly winds across the regional waters. Winds will occasionally reach locally strong levels, resulting in choppy to rough seas at times. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through at least Thursday afternoon for the offshore Atlantic waters. In addition, isolated afternoon and early evening thunderstorms may develop each day across the western coastal waters of Puerto Rico, producing locally higher winds and seas near storms.
Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves.
