Agitated Seas Forecast Through Wednesday For T&T

Elevated low-level winds are forecast to persist across Trinidad, Tobago, and the Windward Islands through Wednesday, leading to agitated seas in open waters.

What you need to know

— What & Where: Elevated low-level winds are forecast to affect the entire marine area, with higher wave heights likely in northern and eastern areas. In sheltered areas, choppy seas are likely in heavy showers and thunderstorms.
— When: Agitated seas are likely to continue through Wednesday, with peak wave heights Monday night through Tuesday.
— Impacts: Large open water waves or choppy seas, caused by elevated winds, can be hazardous to smaller marine vessels, making operations difficult due to the large waves. Larger waves along northern and eastern coastlines may lead to beach erosion. Elevated threat of rip currents on northern and eastern coastlines.
— What Should You Do: All marine interests should exercise caution, while small craft operators should seek safe harbor when heavy showers or thunderstorms are nearby. Inexperienced mariners should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions, especially those operating smaller vessels. Inexperienced swimmers should avoid the water due to unsafe surf conditions. If you intend to go into the water, it is recommended that you use beaches with lifeguards on duty. Secure objects on the beachfront that the wave action or winds may sweep away over the next seven days.
