Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There are two tropical waves in the Atlantic, and one in the Caribbean.

An upper level trough extends from the western Atlantic across the SE Bahamas to Belize, and is supporting the active convection described with the tropical wave along 80W. South of 12N, scattered strong convection is seen across NW Colombia westward to eastern Costa Rica and southward into the adjacent Pacific. Fresh to strong trade winds are directly behind the tropical wave and extend to 67W. These winds have generated seas of 7 to 9 ft across much of the central Caribbean. Fresh tradewinds prevail E of 67W and into the tropical Atlantic. Seas across the eastern Caribbean are 6 to 7 ft and 8 to 10 ft across the tropical Atlantic in N and NE swell.

The eastern extension of the eastern Pacific Ocean monsoon trough extends from 10N74W in Colombia beyond Costa Rica along 09.5N.

High pressure currently just NE of Bermuda, will slide ENE throughout the week supporting fresh to strong winds across the central Caribbean through Thu. Winds and seas will then diminish significantly early Fri through Sun as a surface trough moves W across the regional Atlantic waters. Moderate N to NE swell from Sam will affect the tropical Atlc waters and Caribbean passages through Wed night.
