BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Surface high pressure strengthening across the central Atlantic will promote moderate to fresh winds, with higher gusts, today and over the next few days. This will result in choppy to locally rough marine conditions. Seas will generally build to 4 to 6 feet across the offshore waters and local passages, with occasional seas up to 8 feet possible by tonight and through around next Thursday. Passing showers will continue across portions of the regional waters today, with locally higher winds and seas possible in and near thunderstorms. A tropical wave arriving by midweek will bring additional periods of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.
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.
