A high surf advisory is in effect for the western coastlines of Barbados.

Choppy sea conditions along the western coastlines are expected from Wednesday, November 5, 2025 and a low-pressure system in the northern Atlantic is expected to aggravate them from Friday night.

Swell heights from a northerly direction are expected to peak between 1.5 and 2.5m. Subsequently, after the passage of a tropical wave, swell heights are expected to further increase to 2.0 to 3.0m from Saturday night.

Small craft operators and beachgoers are encouraged to follow the advice of the National Conservation Commission and any other relevant agencies.

A high surf advisory is issued when breaking wave action poses a threat or is forecast to pose a threat to life and property in the marine area within the next 48 hours.

This high surf advisory was issued at 6 p.m. Wednesday and will be updated at noon on Friday, November 7, 2025, or sooner if conditions warrant. (PR/SAT)
