Description: Large breaking waves near 3.5 metres, due to long period swells, are likely along nearshore, north-exposed coastlines of Trinidad and Tobago. Choppy conditions are also likely, especially along northern facing coastlines in the Gulf of Paria. Conditions will be amplified during high tides and exacerbated at spring tides. Effects will first be experienced on the northern shorelines of Tobago and then Trinidad within a couple hours afterwards.
Impacts include: dangerous conditions for swimming and small craft operations, very high surf and dangerous rip currents near affected coastlines. Waves are currently 2.0-2.5 metres in open waters and near 0.5 metres in sheltered areas.
Update: 2022/12/23 at 6:00 PM or sooner if warranted.
Instructions: Sea bathers, fishermen, small craft operators, and other coastal interests should make preparations to secure lives, livelihoods, and coastal property. Exercise extreme caution along the coast. Prepare for dangerous breaking waves and currents. Follow the instructions of lifeguards. Monitor official news sources. More information: www.odpm.gov.tt.
