A Small-craft and High Surf Advisory is in effect for St Vincent and the Grenadines and its coastal waters from 1:00 pm today February 12th, until 6:00 pm Saturday February 16th.
A Small-Craft Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 23 to 29 miles per hour and/or sea swells of 8 to 10 feet are affecting or forecast to affect the marine area within the next 36 hours.
A High Surf Advisory is issued when breaking wave action is forecast to pose a threat to life and property within the surf zone during the next 36 hours.
Large waves and dangerous rip-currents will create unsafe conditions for small-craft operators particularly on the northern and eastern coastlines. These conditions may become even more adverse at times of high tide. Therefore, only vessels capable of withstanding swells of these magnitudes should venture out.
Sea-bathers are advised to stay out of the water.
Upcoming High-tide times:
Wednesday 08:03 pm (today)
Thursday: 05:58 am and 08:42 pm
Friday: 06:56 am and 09:11 pm
Saturday: 07:59 am and 09:36 pm
This advisory may be discontinued at 6:00 pm Saturday February 16th or sooner if conditions improve. It may also be extended if conditions warrant.
