Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There is one tropical wave in the Atlantic, and none in the Caribbean.

In addition to the showers and thunderstorms off Panama, another cluster is ongoing off the southern Peninsula of Haiti again this morning. A ship reported strong to near gale force winds in this area of thunderstorm, likely due to strong downdrafts. Elsewhere trade winds are well below average with mostly gentle to moderate breezes and slight to moderate seas noted in all areas. This relatively relaxed period is courtesy of fairly weak high pressure centered north of the area off the northern Bahamas.

For the forecast, Peter will move to 18.8N 55.3W this afternoon, then continue to move to the northeast of the Leeward Islands and reach 19.8N 57.8W Mon morning and 20.8N 60.1W Mon afternoon. Expect large swell off the Leeward Islands into mid week. Peter will continue to move northward and away from the Leewards thereafter through mid week. Peter will displace the weakening Atlantic ridge currently north of the region, allowing trades winds over the south-central Caribbean to diminish over the next several days.
