In its latest High Surf Advisory, the BMS said: “A broad area of low pressure in the far northern Atlantic is generating above-normal swells which are propagating into the marine waters of the eastern Caribbean. Since Friday, 9th February 2024, there has been an increase in surf activity along the western coastlines of the island. It is recommended to use beaches with an on-duty lifeguard. This activity is expected to persist into Tuesday, 13th February 2024. “Exercise extreme caution at the beaches, particularly along the western coasts. If venturing into the water, ensure there is an on-duty lifeguard and secure objects that can be swept away by the breaking wave activity.” The alert is valid until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, or until sooner if conditions warrant.
