MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:

.

Synopsis:
A flat pressure pattern across the Caribbean Sea will continue to lead to
generally light winds and rather tranquil seas across the local sea area. A high
pressure leaving the southeast continental United States by Saturday is expected
to give way to gradual increasing winds and somewhat higher seas across most of
the Caribbean Sea. By Sunday onwards, waves could peak to about 5 foot over the
open water.

Weather:
Sunny to partly cloudy and dry.

Visibility:
30 to 50 kilometer.

Winds:
A mainly northeast direction and a light to gentle breeze; force 2 to 3 (7 to 19
km/h, 4 to 10 knots).
At times a few occasional gusts to possibly moderate; force 4 (20 to 30 km/h, 11
to 16 knots).

Seas:
Overall slight with wave heights of less than 1 meter (3 feet).

.

Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:
Northeast and gentle to moderate; force 3 to 4 (12 to 30 km/h, 7 to 16 knots).
Higher gusts to possibly fresh; force 5 (31 to 39 km/h, 17 to 21 knots).

Synopsis...A cold front from W Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras will reach
from eastern Cuba to NE Honduras by Fri morning. Fresh to strong winds and
rough seas will continue to follow the front across the NW Caribbean tonight.
Winds and seas will diminish Fri across NW portions as the front reaches the
NE coast of Cuba to NE Honduras, then weakens from Hispaniola to the
Honduras-Nicaragua border on Sat. High pressure building north of the region in
the wake of the front will support fresh to strong NE winds in the lee of eastern
Cuba and across the Windward Passage Fri night through Sat evening.
Winds and seas will then diminish there Sat night. Moderate N swell moving
through the NE Caribbean Passages and adjacent Tropical Atlantic waters
will gradually subside through early Fri. Strong trade winds and rough seas will
pulse off the coast of Colombia and the southern coast of Hispaniola this weekend
as the high pressure settles NE of the Bahamas.
