BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Light to moderate east to southeast winds will continue this holiday weekend, becoming moderate to fresh by Tuesday as surface high pressure builds across the central Atlantic. These conditions may result in increasingly choppy seas across regional waters and Caribbean Passages. A tropical wave will increase shower and thunderstorm activity across the regional waters late today into Monday, bringing gusty winds and lightning.
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.
