BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Gentle to moderate east-southeast winds will prevail through midweek under a weak pressure gradient. An energetic, long-period northwesterly swell will arrive tonight and peak Tuesday. Initial swell periods of 12 to 14 seconds will accompany building seas of 5 to 7 feet across the Atlantic waters and exposed Caribbean passages. Hazardous conditions for small craft are possible Tuesday, with seas gradually subsiding Wednesday into Thursday. Another long-period northwesterly swell will likely spread across the local waters Friday into the weekend. Afternoon thunderstorms may also produce locally gusty winds, lightning, and reduced visibility in heavy rainfall.
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.
