BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A surface low and its associated frontal boundary moving across the western Atlantic will maintain a weak local pressure gradient, supporting gentle to moderate east-southeast winds through early next week. Residual northerly swell will continue to subside today. A more energetic northwesterly swell will arrive Monday evening, peak Tuesday, and become northerly by Wednesday. This swell will produce building seas across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages, with elevated seas persisting through midweek. Thunderstorms may affect coastal waters, particularly in the afternoon and evening through at least Tuesday, producing locally gusty winds, lightning, and reduced visibility in heavy rain.
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.
