The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Services issued a formal marine advisory to warn the public about hazardous coastal conditions beginning on Christmas Day 2025.
The advisory explains that Low Pressure areas in the North Atlantic are generating strong sea swells and dangerous rip currents that will impact the islands’ shores.
Specifically, the advisory alerts small-craft operators and swimmers to remain vigilant, as long-period waves and breaking surf are expected to make the water unsafe.
To assist with safety planning, the advisory lists daily high-tide schedules for the duration of the alert, as rising water levels may worsen the situation.
Officials intend for these safety precautions to remain in effect through Monday evening, though the timeline may shift based on evolving weather patterns.
Upcoming High-tide times:
Thursday 25th 08:31am and 11:33pm
Friday 26th 09:18am and 11:47pm
Saturday 27th 10:12am
Sunday 28th 00:14am and 11:13pm
Monday 29th 00:49am and 12:22pm
