A SMALL CRAFT AND HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
Issued at 12:00 Noon, Saturday 5th April, 2025
The Small-craft and High Surf Advisory is extended for St Vincent and the Grenadines and its coastal waters until 6:00 am Sunday 6th April 2025.
A Small-Craft Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 37 to 46 km/h (23 to 29 mph) and/or sea swells of 2.5 to 3.0 meters (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 continue to 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:
Saturday: 12:56 pm
Sunday: 12:02 am
This advisory may be discontinued at 6:00 am Sunday 6th April, 2025 or sooner if conditions improve. It may also be extended if conditions warrant.
