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 Atlantic ridge will maintain moderate to locally fresh easterly winds today, with choppy seas occasionally reaching around 6 feet. Winds and seas should ease somewhat Tuesday as the pressure gradient relaxes. A tropical wave crossing the eastern Caribbean Tuesday into Wednesday will increase the potential for showers and thunderstorms over the local waters. Winds will begin increasing again Wednesday night as the pressure gradient tightens behind the wave, with increasingly hazardous conditions for small craft expected Thursday into Friday. Easterly winds could reach 20 to 25 knots, with seas building to around 6 to 9 feet late in the workweek.
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.
