BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A pressure gradient between a weak surface high to the north and the Colombian low will maintain moderate to fresh trade winds through the rest of the weekend, primarily across Caribbean waters and passages. Expect choppy seas of 4 to 5 feet, with occasional seas up to 6 feet; small craft should exercise caution. Saharan dust will persist through early Sunday, limiting shower activity and reducing visibility. Moisture levels will increase by Monday, bringing an increased chance of showers.
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.
