Forecast

Weather Forecast for Curaçao and surroundings valid until Friday morning 06:00 l.t., May 15, 2026.

Issued:
Thursday May 14, 2026, 05:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC).

Weather:
:00 l.t. (09:00 UTC). CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT. Weather: Partly to tempo mostly cloudy with a light chance for an isolated showers to develop during the morning. Visibility may be slightly reduced at times, accompanied by fresh to occasionally strong winds. Forecast high will be 32ºC and the low will be 27ºC. Sunrise will occur at 06:12 and sunset at 18:52.

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).

Synopsis:
A great pressure gradient over the Caribbean Sea allows a strong wind regime to settle across the east-central southern domain of the Caribbean Sea. Reasoning this, the local sea condition will continue rather agitated during the end of the week. Otherwise, a short cloudy spell during this morning will likely result in a brief passing shower over limited areas on the island and around it.

Sea conditions:
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 of the island, while northeasterly swells continue to produce breakers reaching up to 2.5 meters (8 feet), particularly along the north and east coasts. As a result, a cautionary statement (Code Yellow) for rough seas is in force. Mariners are urged to proceed with caution and swimmers are advised to remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from the shoreline.

Special features:
None.

Outlook until Saturday morning:
Partly cloudy skies with sunny intervals are expected, accompanied by generally dry conditions. The persistent tightening pressure gradient will continue to generate moderate to occasionally strong winds.

Forecaster:
Correa.

The next weather forecast will be issued on Thursday 11:00 l.t. (15:00 UTC).
