| Headline | Hazardous Seas Alert #2 - Yellow Level |
| Description | High-energy, long period northerly swells are observed along the northern and north-western coastal areas of Tobago. This event is generating large, battering waves exacerbated at high tides, along these shorelines. 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. |
| Instructions | All marine interests should monitor near-shore sea conditions and exercise extra caution along affected coasts. Limit nearshore marine activities. Continue to monitor updates from official sites: TTMS at www.metoffice.gov.tt and access more information and instructions from www.odpm.gov.tt |
