The Small-craft and High-Surf Advisory for St Vincent and the Grenadines and its coastal waters has been extended until 6am Monday 15^th December, 2025.

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.
