BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A surface high pressure building from the north-central Atlantic will promote light to moderate east to southeast winds through the end of the week. A weak long-period northeasterly swell will reach the area late tonight, with seas building between 3 to 4 feet. Afternoon thunderstorms developing from the Atlantic and western coastal waters of Puerto Rico may produce locally strong gusts and frequent lightning through the early evening hours each day.
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.
