Seas Forecast For Trinidad and Tobago
Over the next seven days, winds are forecast to be generally from the east-southeast to east-northeast across Trinidad and Tobago, varying between 10 to 15 knots and gusts to 20 knots. From Thursday through Saturday, winds can reach as high as 20 knots with gusts to 25 knots in showers or thunderstorms.
The result is moderate seas in Trinidad and Tobago’s open waters through the next seven days, with waves reaching between 1.5 and 2.0 meters, while in sheltered areas, waves remain below 1.0 meter.
Particularly from Thursday through Saturday, with somewhat elevated winds, seas can become locally choppy or rough outside of showers and thunderstorms.
Spring tides are forecast to return by July 16th, with no significant long-period swells expected. Over the next seven days, swell periods are forecast to remain between six and eleven seconds.
Possible Impacts
Saharan Dust concentrations are forecast to remain at elevated levels through the forecast period, marginally affecting visibility and air quality.
While no other significant hazards are forecast, it is always worth mentioning the rip current hazard that exists on all beaches across T&T, particularly northern and eastern-facing coastlines that receive the larger waves in sheltered areas.
