BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Light to gentle southeasterly winds will gradually become more easterly and increase to moderate to locally fresh speeds toward the end of the week and into the weekend, particularly across the Caribbean waters. Another swell arriving Friday will likely bring hazardous seas for small craft through the weekend and into early next week. Increasing tropical moisture will also favor more frequent showers and thunderstorms, including nighttime activity, with lightning, gusty winds, and reduced visibility from Thursday onwards.
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.
