BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A surface high pressure over the western Atlantic is expected to build and extend into the central Atlantic, promoting moderate east- southeasterly winds across the area, becoming moderate to locally fresh from time to time. Under this pattern, seas will generally remain between 3 and 4 feet, occasionally 5 feet, across the regional waters for the next few days. A tropical wave is forecast to approach the eastern Caribbean on Tuesday, bringing enhanced shower and thunderstorm activity across the local waters and passages. Saharan dust concentrations should gradually increase on Tuesday night, peaking on Wednesday, bringing hazy skies and slightly reduced visibility. A weak long-period swell should arrive and spread across the regional waters by Thursday.
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.
