Description
Hurricane Beryl continues to generate large swell heights across Barbados marine area, on Monday 1st July 2024 as it moves away from the island.
Due to the nature of this system, large open water swells will continue to be hazardous to vessels, and overtopping waves onto property and roads in very close proximity to shorelines are expected to continue with a gradual decrease tonight. Therefore, the small craft and high surf warning remains in effect for Barbados.
