BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Building high pressure north of the region will maintain moderate to locally fresh easterly trade winds through Thursday, resulting in choppy conditions across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters and the local passages. Tonight, seas will range from 5 to 6 feet, occasionally up to 8 feet across the offshore Atlantic and Caribbean waters and the Anegada Passage. Winds should become mainly moderate from Friday into the weekend and early next week, promoting moderate chops. Periods of passing showers will continue, while afternoon showers and ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms are expected mainly across the western and northwestern coastal waters of Puerto Rico. Thunderstorms may produce locally higher winds and seas, lightning, and reduced 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.
