BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Light to moderate easterly winds will prevail tonight, becoming somewhat stronger Sunday into early next week. A northerly swell will continue to spread across the Atlantic waters and passages, resulting in increasingly choppy marine conditions, especially across the northern waters. Seas will gradually build through Monday as the swell combines with the strengthening trade winds. Small craft should exercise caution across portions of the Atlantic waters and local passages as conditions deteriorate. Periods of showers will continue, with ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms capable of producing locally higher winds and seas, lightning, and reduced visibility.
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.
