BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
The surface high over the western Atlantic continues to move east, as a low (frontal boundary) makes its way into the western Atlantic, easing the pressure gradient and resulting in light to moderate east to east- southeast winds. Winds will increase somewhat Tuesday into Wednesday as another surface high builds over the western Atlantic. Seas will range from 3 to 4 feet, occasionally higher. A tropical wave crossing late Wednesday into Thursday will increase shower and thunderstorm activity.
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.
