Large swell heights are forecast for this afternoon as Hurricane Beryl continues to affect the island, and the Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) has advised that a small craft and high surf warning remains in effect for Barbados for above normal swell heights.
“Beryl has brought hazardous sea conditions across the marine area of Barbados overnight and into today. Due to the nature of this system, large open water swells will continue to be hazardous to vessels, with overtopping of waves onto property and roads in very close proximity to shorelines expected to continue today with a gradual decrease tonight,” it said in a statement this afternoon.
“Therefore, the small craft and high surf warning remains in effect for Barbados.”
Swell heights of 3.5m to 4.0m (11 ft -13 ft) are forecast for the period.
