Hazardous seas alert issued for northern and eastern coasts

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Me­te­o­ro­log­i­cal Ser­vice (TTMS) has is­sued a yel­low-lev­el haz­ardous seas alert for the north­ern and east­ern ex­posed coast­lines, in­clud­ing off­shore ar­eas, from 4 pm to­day (Mon­day) un­til 6 pm on Thurs­day 5 March 2026.

Sea con­di­tions are ex­pect­ed to de­te­ri­o­rate, with wave heights be­tween 2.5 and 3 me­tres due to strong winds.

The rough seas pose risks for fish­ing and small craft op­er­a­tions, while spring tides may ex­ac­er­bate con­di­tions at sea­walls.

Strong rip cur­rents al­so present a dan­ger to swim­mers and beach­go­ers.

Au­thor­i­ties ad­vise all ma­rine in­ter­ests to ex­er­cise cau­tion and for beach users to fol­low life­guards’ in­struc­tions.
