BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Marine conditions will remain generally favorable for small craft, although locally choppy conditions are possible from Friday into the weekend as high pressure strengthens over the central Atlantic, increasing winds and seas. Afternoon thunderstorms may produce locally hazardous conditions near western Puerto Rico today. Moderate Saharan dust will return Friday, followed by a tropical wave and increased shower activity this 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.
