Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There is one tropical wave in the Atlantic, and one in the Caribbean.

An upper level trough extends from the western Atlantic near 31N75W SSW across the central Bahamas and western Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras. This is promoting unstable conditions and supporting convection described above associated with the tropical wave. Isolated moderate convection is seen south of 11N between the coast of Colombia and southeast Nicaragua.

Fresh to strong trade winds prevail across most of the central Caribbean and extend northeastward through the Anegada Passage. Seas range from 7 feet to 10 feet, as the gradient tightens between the Bermuda high and the east Pacific Ocean monsoon trough. Moderate trade winds and seas of 3 to 6 ft prevail west of the tropical wave.

High pressure just E of Bermuda will gradually slide eastward through the middle of the week. This pattern will produce fresh to strong trade winds across the NE and central Caribbean through Tue night. Fresh to strong trade winds will then persist across the central Caribbean through Thu. Moderate N to NE swell from Sam will affect the tropical Atlc waters through Wed night. Winds and seas will diminish significantly by Fri.
