WARNINGS
BVI On High Surf Alert Until Wednesday
Beachgoers are advised to be cautious this week with dangerous surfs of six to ten feet expecting to hit some coastlines in the British Virgin Islands producing hazardous conditions.
The high surf alert is expected to last until Wednesday, March 29.
The moderate long-period swells are affecting mainly the northern and eastern coastlines of the territory.
“Beachgoers, especially to the mainly affected coastlines, should be extremely cautious; bathe only where lifeguards are present or on the sheltered, less affected beaches, mainly to the south. Extreme caution is also required by those using the affected non-beach or rocky coastlines,” the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) advised in a recent press statement.
According to DDM, the “threat level to the life, livelihood, property and infrastructure of those using the affected coastlines is moderate.”
