PURPLE FLAG β Jellyfish in the water
Jellyfish have been reported at The Baths. A purple flag flies alongside the red, yellow or green flag β it does not describe sea conditions, it means marine pests are in the water.
Rinse stings with vinegar or salt water, not fresh water, and seek medical help if the reaction is severe.
Take Care on ALL Beaches due to JELLYFISH - Sea Wasp (Carybdea alata) - including The Bubbly Pool JVD and Anegada.

BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
The broad Atlantic ridge extending from the western into the central Atlantic will continue to promote moderate easterly winds across the local waters today. A tropical wave crossing the eastern Caribbean will increase shower and thunderstorm activity, with locally higher winds and seas possible near stronger convection. Marine conditions will deteriorate toward the end of the workweek as the local pressure gradient tightens and easterly winds strengthen. Fresh to locally strong winds and increasingly rough seas are expected across portions of the offshore waters and local passages, resulting in hazardous conditions for small craft. Small Craft Advisories will likely be required for some of these waters. Pulses of Saharan dust will also persist through the week, occasionally reducing visibility.
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.
