BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A broad surface high pressure over the western Atlantic and a few induced surface troughs will continue to result in moderate easterly winds across the region. Under this pattern, seas will remain under 5 feet with winds up to 15 knots. By late Wednesday into Thursday, a tropical wave is forecast to approach the eastern Caribbean, bringing an increase in showers and thunderstorms. Conditions should gradually improve on Friday as the wave moves west of the local area, while moderate easterly trades will persist.
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.
