Met Office: Hazardous Seas Alert, Yellow Level, Now In Effect

Hazardous seas alert number three yellow level is in effect.

The Meteorological Services says long period, high energy swells have been producing large breakers in excess of 3 metres along near shore, north-exposed coastlines of Trinidad and Tobago.

Occasionally choppy conditions are also expected to continue in the Gulf of Paria with conditions slowly improving after the next 24 hours.

Conditions will be amplified during high tides.

Likely impacts include: higher than normal surf, dangerous conditions for swimming and for small craft operations near affected coastlines.

These conditions are expected to continue for the rest of the week.

Sea bathers, fishermen, and small craft operators should assess sea conditions and avoid interacting with large breakers where possible.

Exercise caution.
