Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-100800-
301 PM AST Tue Dec 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A broad surface high pressure over the Central Atlantic will promote
east to southeast gentle to moderate winds today through Wednesday.
The high pressure will strengthen and tighten the pressure gradient
and increase winds, allowing seas to build across the Atlantic waters
and exposed passages. Additionally, a long-period northerly swell
arriving early Thursday will further worsen conditions. Choppy to
rough seas are expected, with Small Craft Advisories likely by the
end of the workweek. A gradual improvement remains possible by the
weekend as winds and swell ease.
