PURPLE FLAG β Jellyfish in the water
Jellyfish have been reported at The Baths. A purple flag flies alongside the red, yellow or green flag β it does not describe sea conditions, it means marine pests are in the water.
Rinse stings with vinegar or salt water, not fresh water, and seek medical help if the reaction is severe.
Take Care on ALL Beaches due to JELLYFISH - Sea Wasp (Carybdea alata) - including The Bubbly Pool JVD and Anegada.

BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
The combination of a surface high pressure over the central Atlantic and a passing tropical wave continue to promote breezy conditions across the local waters, resulting in occasionally choppy seas of up to 6 feet. Therefore, small craft operators should exercise caution across the regional waters. Showers and thunderstorms associated with the tropical wave are expected to remain across the local waters, resulting in locally hazardous marine conditions. Another tropical wave will approach the region by Tuesday, increasing the potential for showers and thunderstorms over the local waters. By the end of the workweek, a strengthening surface high over the central Atlantic will promote increasing easterly winds, resulting in hazardous conditions for small craft, with winds of 15 to 20 knots, locally up to 25 knots, and seas potentially building to 5 to 7 feet.
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.
