BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Moderate easterly winds will gradually strengthen tonight into Tuesday as a surface high pressure strengthens across the central Atlantic. Winds of 15 to 20 knots, with higher gusts, will become increasingly widespread from Tuesday onward, resulting in choppy to locally rough marine conditions. Seas will generally build to 4 to 6 feet across the offshore waters and local passages, with occasional seas up to 8 feet possible by Tuesday night and through midweek. Passing showers will continue across portions of the regional waters, with locally higher winds and seas possible in and near thunderstorms.
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.
