BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A weak pressure gradient between a frontal boundary over the western Atlantic and high pressure to the east will maintain gentle to moderate east to southeast winds through midweek. Despite the relatively light winds, a significant long-period north-northwesterly swell is expected to peak today before becoming more northerly Wednesday. Seas near 6 feet across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages will warrant caution for small craft operators, with conditions gradually improving as the swell subsides. Meanwhile, increasing tropical moisture Thursday into the weekend may favor more widespread showers and thunderstorms, potentially bringing lightning, locally gusty winds, and reduced visibility over the waters.
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.
