Fresh to Strong Winds in Central Caribbean
CaribbeanSea · Published Nov 13, 2026
• The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that a pressure gradient between the Bermuda High and a 1007 mb low-pressure system near the northwest coast of Colombia is generating fresh to strong trade winds in the central Caribbean, particularly between 11N and 17N.
• Seas in this area are reaching heights of 6-9 feet.

Impact & Risks

The fresh to strong trade winds in the central Caribbean could lead to rough seas, with wave heights reaching up to 9 feet. Mariners in the region, particularly between 11N and 17N, should exercise caution. The cold front moving off the northeast Florida coast will bring strong winds and rough seas to the North-Central Atlantic, with gale-force winds expected north of 29N late Friday into Saturday. These conditions may pose risks to maritime activities and small vessels in the affected areas. The strengthening Bermuda High early next week could further intensify winds, impacting navigation and increasing the potential for hazardous conditions.
