BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Moderate to locally fresh easterly winds will prevail across the region, influenced by a broad surface high and a passing tropical wave. Small craft operators should exercise caution. Expect increased shower and thunderstorm activity over the next day or so. However, as the tropical wave shifts west of the area on Friday and leaves behind lingering moisture, conditions will gradually improve, while moderate easterly trade winds persist into the weekend.
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.
