BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
As a surface low and its associated frontal boundary move across the western Atlantic, the local pressure gradient will weaken, supporting gentle to moderate east-southeast winds through the weekend into early next week. A small northerly swell will gradually subside tonight across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages. A more energetic northerly swell will arrive Monday night, peak Tuesday, and persist through midweek, resulting in building seas. ⛈️ Isolated thunderstorms may develop over the coastal waters each afternoon this weekend, with activity potentially extending into the evening on Sunday and Monday.
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.
