There are no watches or warnings in effect for Barbados on this system.
Choppy sea conditions mainly along the western coastlines of Barbados stretching from Six Mens, St. Peter, southward to Brighton Beach are expected as early as Tuesday, April 30. These conditions are predicted to persist through to Thursday, May 2, with improvement expected thereafter.
Northerly swells of 1.0m to 1.5m are likely to impact the western coastal waters of Barbados during this swell event.
