BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A northerly swell will continue to spread across the local Atlantic waters and passages tonight, while easterly trade winds gradually strengthen. The combination will lead to increasingly choppy conditions, particularly across the Atlantic waters and local passages, with seas continuing to build into Monday. Small craft should exercise caution, especially cross the northern waters and passages. Showers will become more frequent overnight, with locally higher winds and seas possible in heavier showers. Marine conditions are expected to remain choppy to locally rough through early this week as the swell persist and the winds strengthen further.
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.
