MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:

CODE YELLOW: .A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL COASTAL
SECTIONS OF CURAÇAO.
.

Synopsis:
Persisting atmospheric moisture continues to support some cloud development, but
the prevailing southeasterly flow will maintain generally fair and dry
conditions across the island over the next 24 hours. The tightening pressure
gradient associated with the Atlantic high remains significant, sustaining fresh
to strong winds, with peak gusts expected from late afternoon into the night. A
plume of fine Saharan dust is also forecast to reach the area tomorrow,
resulting in hazy skies.

Weather
Mostly cloudy skies will prevail, although overall conditions are expected to
remain fair and dry, accompanied by fresh to strong winds. A plume of fine
Saharan dust will lead to a somewhat hazy skies.

Visibility:
10 to 20 kilometer in a somewhat hazy condition.

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 over open waters with wave heights between 1.5 and 2.5
meters (4 and 8 feet). Due to a combination of locally wind-generated waves and
incoming swells, conditions are expected to become increasingly unsettled around
our island with wave heights of up to 3 meters (9 feet). As a result, a
cautionary statement for rough seas (Code Yellow) remains in effect. Mariners
operating small vessels should navigate with caution and swimmers are urged to
remain vigilant and avoid venturing far from shore.

.
Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots).

knots).

Synopsis...Fresh to strong trades will prevail over the central
and eastern basin with gentle to moderate winds to the
west. Strong high pressure will then build southward from the
western Atlantic, with a tightening pressure gradient leading to
increasing winds, especially in the south-central basin. Looking
ahead, expect fresh to strong NE winds and building seas early
next week in the lee of Cuba and across the Windward Passage.
