A small craft caution caution is in effect for the Virgin Islands. This due to sustained winds of approximately 22mph out of the east with occasionally higher gusts. These winds can cause seas to become choppy at times. There is a moderate chance that sea conditions could deteriorate further later this afternoon, the possibility of small craft advisory could be issued within the next 24 hours.
The Department of Disaster Management is encouraging small craft operators to exercise caution as sea conditions could become hazardous. Beachgoers should also exercise caution as there could be the possibility of rip currents.
