BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Broad surface highs and frontal boundaries over the Atlantic will maintain an easterly to southeasterly flow through at least early Thursday, backing to become more east to northeast through at least Saturday. Up to moderate winds will continue, with periods of locally fresh winds across the offshore waters and passages at times. Seas will range between 2 and 4 feet, occasionally higher due to a combination of local wind waves and a few pulses of a small, long-period northeasterly swell spreading across the Atlantic waters. Generally favorable conditions for small craft, though operators should exercise caution at times due to wind-driven seas and passing showers that may produce locally higher winds and seas.
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.
