Met Office Issues Hazardous Seas Alert For SEVEN (7) Hours On Thursday
The Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS) has issued a Hazardous Seas Alert (Yellow Level) for seven (7) hours on Thursday (9th October, 2025). The Alert begins at 8:30 AM and will remain in effect until 3:30 PM for Eastern and extreme Northeastern coastlines of Trinidad and Tobago.
According to the Met Office, long period, Easterly swells generated by Tropical Storm Jerry are expected to produce larger than normal breakers with occasional battering waves in the surf zone. Rip currents are expected along the East coast of Trinidad with stronger rip currents in Indian Bay. While this event is expected to be short-lived, conditions will be exacerbated in the vicinity of rainfall activity.
Impacts include disruption to near-shore activities such as fishing, swimming and mooring of smaller marine craft.
Instructions
- All marine interests should carefully monitor near-shore/coastal sea conditions and exercise extreme caution along identified areas.
- Limit near-shore marine activities and avoid any sea-related recreation.
- Continue to monitor updates from official sites: TTMS at www.metoffice.gov.tt and access more information and instructions from www.odpm.gov.tt.
