The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service has issued a high surf advisory, alerting residents and visitors to potentially dangerous sea conditions expected to persist over the coming days. Moderate, long-period swells are predicted to generate waves ranging from 6 to 10 feet (2–3 meters), with occasional larger sets, particularly along the northern and western coastlines of the islands. The advisory, which extends from Friday through Tuesday, also encompasses neighboring eastern Caribbean territories, including the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat, and St Kitts and Nevis. Authorities have highlighted significant risks such as life-threatening rip currents, beach erosion, coastal flooding, and potential property damage. Beachgoers are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution, avoid rocky shorelines, and swim only in areas supervised by lifeguards. The Meteorological Service emphasized the importance of heeding the advisory and staying informed through official channels for updates.
