The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has discontinued the Hazardous Seas Alert for the country on Tuesday at 9:52 AM.
Over the last 48 to 72 hours, northeasterly long-period swells have predominantly affected T&T’s northern coastlines. While the peak of this swell event has passed, occasional high-energy and large swells are expected to continue through the week.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service, “The risk posed by impactful swells has diminished, and sea conditions around Trinidad and Tobago are gradually improving. Despite this improvement, the occasional large swell can still be expected in isolation.”
The alert’s color indicates the event’s severity and probability of occurring. The alert level is Green, as the discontinuation was issued, and certainty is very likely/observed, consistent with a discontinuation.
According to the TTMS, public safety, livelihoods, and property are at low risk at this level.
The Met Office advises that all marine interests should continue to monitor sea conditions when engaging in sea-related activities.
