MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:
.

CODE YELLOW: CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS.
.

Synopsis:
A high pressure area over the Atlantic Ocean will occasionally generate a fairly
strong wind, which will continue to lead to a moderate to locally rough sea. In
addition, clouds, which move over our region in this easterly flow, can ensure
the development of a few local showers of short duration above our island.

Weather:
Partly cloudy with no significant precipitation.

Visibility:
18 to 28 kilometer.

Winds:
Easterly and gentle to fresh; force 3 to 5 (12 to 39 km/h, 7 to 21 knots).
Occasionally strong in gusts; force 6 (40 to 50 km/h, 22 to 27 knots).

Seas:
Moderate to locally quite rough with wave heights between 1 and 2.5 meters (4
and 8 feet). The highest waves are generally over the northern and eastern open
water. Small boat occupants should continue to heed the precautionary statement
(Code Yellow) for rough seas and not venture far from shore.

.
Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:

Easterly and gentle to moderate; force 3 to 4 (12 to 30 km/h, 7 to 16 knots).
Occasionally fresh in gusts; force 5 (31 to 39 km/h, 17 to 21 knots)..
Synopsis...
Strong trade winds and rough seas will continue
across the south-central Caribbean, with near-gale force winds possible.
Winds will pulse to near-gale force in this area each night into early next week.
Fresh to locally strong NE winds are expected across the
northwestern Caribbean, surrounding a trough, today.
Elsewhere, a long-period E swell will lead to rough seas through
the Atlantic Passages of the Windward Islands into early next
week. Otherwise, widespread moderate to fresh trade winds and
rough seas will occur across eastern, central and southwestern
portions of the basin through Fri. Widespread fresh to strong NE
winds and building seas are expected to develop tonight in
the western Caribbean as a pressure gradient strengthens between
persistent troughing in the region and building high pressure
over the southeastern United States. Fresh to strong winds will
expand into the Atlantic Passages this weekend.
