BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A surface high pressure north of the region will maintain moderate to locally fresh easterly trade winds through at least Friday, producing choppy conditions across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters as well as local passages. Winds will shift to mainly moderate over the weekend and into early next week, keeping seas moderately choppy. Meanwhile, a passing disturbance tonight will increase showers and thunderstorms across the waters, creating locally hazardous conditions for small craft, including gusty winds, higher seas, lightning, and reduced visibility, with lingering moisture maintaining unsettled weather into the early weekend.
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.
