MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:

CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS.
.

Synopsis:
A dry air mass will remain over the region over the next 24 hours, supporting
generally fair and mostly dry conditions across our island. Slight haze, related
to fine Saharan dust may be present at times. Meanwhile, a tightening pressure
gradient associated with the Atlantic high will maintain a strong wind regime
over the region.

Weather
Partly cloudy with predominantly dry conditions. Visibility may be slightly
reduced at times due to light haze, while fresh to strong winds continue to
affect the area.

Visibility:
15 to 25 kilometer.

Winds:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots).
Occasionally strong to near gale in gusts; force 6 to 7 (40 to 61 km/h, 22 to 33
knots).

Seas:
Moderate to quite rough with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5 meters (4 and 8
feet). Above-normal wind-driven waves continue to affect the northern and
eastern coastal sections, with northeasterly swells producing breakers up to
2.5 m (8 ft). Elsewhere, seas are lower but may still be locally moderate
depending on exposure. As a result, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for
rough seas remains in force. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and
swimmers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from the
shoreline.

.
Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:

knots).

Synopsis...The pressure gradient between high pressure N of the
area and the Colombian Low will support fresh to strong trades
across the central Caribbean, with the strongest winds offshore
Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Moderate to fresh trades
are expected across the remainder of the forecast waters,
pulsing to strong in the Gulf of Honduras at night Sat through
Tue. Large E swell resulting in rough seas will impact the
tropical N Atlantic waters through late Sun, then begin to
subside on Mon.
