BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A surface high positioned over the Atlantic is currently generating moderate to locally fresh easterly winds, particularly affecting the offshore Atlantic waters and the local Caribbean passages. This is resulting in moderate to choppy sea conditions. Small Craft Operators Should Exercise Caution in these aforementioned areas. Sea states are anticipated to diminish slightly around Tuesday, subsequently increasing to 6 to 7 feet from mid-week onward, owing to a northerly swell propagating across the Atlantic waters. A series of frontal lows and surface highs will result in winds veering and backing during the week, with more ENE winds by midweek and more ESE winds by the end of the workweek.
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.
