    <description>**LARGER SWELL HEIGHTS FORECAST AS BERYL APPROACHES**
Tropical Storm Beryl is forecast to bring hazardous sea conditions across the marine area of Barbados from the evening of Sunday 30th June 2024. Model guidance suggests swell heights will peak near 8 meters (26 feet) around the coastlines of Barbados creating a very unsafe marine environment. Therefore, A Small Craft and High Surf Warning remains in effect for Barbados.

Hazard Info:-


**** Hazard Info ****
Possible Impacts
Due to the nature of the system, large open water swells can be hazardous to vessels, whilst frequent overtopping of waves onto property and roads in very close proximity to the shoreline is expected. Some beach erosion is also inevitable with these above-normal swell heights.

What you Should do
Marine users are encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media pages along with the local media networks for further updates. Additionally, advice and warnings provided by the National Conservation Commission and
Barbados Fisheries Division should be followed.

General Information
A small-craft warning is issued when sustained winds of 25 to 33 knots and/or sea swells greater than 3 metres (greater than 10 feet) and/or reduced visibility (less than 5 km) are affecting or forecast to affect the marine area within the next 36 hours.

A high-surf warning is issued when breaking wave action results or is forecast to result in an especially heightened threat to life and property within the surf zone during the next 36 hours.
This Small Craft and High Surf Warning is valid from 2 PM, 29th June 2024 and will be updated if conditions warrant.
