Last updated: 3:01 AM AST Thu May 14 2026 | NWS Coastal Waters Forecast
BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A broad surface high-pressure over the central Atlantic will continue to promote moderate to locally fresh east to east- southeasterly winds across the regional waters. These breezy conditions will maintain somewhat choppy seas, particularly across the offshore and exposed Atlantic and Caribbean waters. Today, a weak long-period northeasterly swell will continue to spread across the local Atlantic waters, with associated wave heights around 3 feet. However, this swell is expected to have only a limited impact on local marine conditions. As a result, seas are forecast to remain between 4 and 5 feet, occasionally up to 6 feet, through at least the upcoming weekend.
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.
