The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has discontinued the Hazardous Seas Alert for the country on Friday at 5:55 AM.
Over the last 36 hours, north long-period swells have predominantly affected T&T’s northern coastlines. During the week, occasional northerly long-period swells are forecast to continue with swell periods between 8 and 12 seconds.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service, “Sea conditions around Trinidad and Tobago have been improving, as the risk posed by impactful north-northeasterly swells has diminished. Waves are currently 1.5m – 2.0m in open waters and less than 1.0m in sheltered areas with wave periods less than 12 seconds.”
The alert’s color indicates the event’s severity and probability of occurring. Currently, the alert level is Green, as the discontinuation was issued, and certainty is observed (or very likely).
According to the TTMS, public safety, livelihoods, and property are at low risk at this level.
The Met Office advises, “As always, all marine interests should continue to monitor sea conditions and exercise caution when engaging in sea-related activities.”
