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
Weak surface high pressure over the central Atlantic continues to drift eastward, displaced by a frontal boundary moving east across the western Atlantic. A surface induced trough approaching the area will maintain mainly moderate to fresh easterly trade winds, resulting in choppy seas. Another surface high- pressure system will build across the western Atlantic over the weekend, sustaining moderate easterly trade winds and choppy seas across offshore waters. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms may result in locally hazardous seas.
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.
