Hazardous Seas Alert Discontinued As Impactful Swells Subside

The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service has discontinued the Hazardous Seas Alert for the country on Saturday at 5:57 AM.

Over the last three days, swell periods of up to 14 seconds have produced occasional large, battering waves along coastal and nearshore areas of northern Trinidad and Tobago.

“Despite isolated high-energy breaking waves along affected coastlines, the significant risk posed by impactful north-northeasterly swells has diminished, and conditions are expected to gradually normalize,” according to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service.

The alert’s color indicates the event’s severity and probability of the event occurring. Currently, the alert level is at Green, as the discontinuation was issued, and the 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 the public to remain cautious when entering the sea, be aware of sea conditions when conducting marine activity, and monitor updates from official sites.
