| Headline | Hazardous Seas Alert # 2 - YELLOW LEVEL |
| Description | High-energy, long period, north/north-easterly swells in combination with spring tides are presently, intermittently, agitating seas with exacerbated conditions at high tides. Larger than normal breakers with large, battering waves are expected in the surf zone. Near-shore activities including fishing, swimming and boat moorings can be disrupted. Impacts may also include intrusion of salt water and displacement of sand, further than the average reach point. There will be slight improvement on Monday morning with conditions returning to more agitation after noon. |
| Instructions | All marine interests should carefully monitor nearshore / coastal sea conditions and exercise extreme caution along identified areas. Restrict nearshore marine activities. Secure coastal property. Continue to monitor updates from official sites: TTMS at www.metoffice.gov.tt and access more information and instructions from www.odpm.gov.tt |
| Area description | Northern and north-eastern exposed coastal areas of Trinidad and Tobago, including north-facing coastal areas of the Gulf of Paria to a lesser extent |
