A Hazardous Seas Alert is now in effect until Monday at 12pm, as the Met Service says north-northeasterly long period swells are affecting the coastlines of Trinidad and Tobago.

Impacts: These swells can result in occasional battering waves at coastal regions and can be exacerbated during high tides.

Nearshore activities (fishing, sea bathing, mooring of boats etc.) can be adversely affected.

All marine interests should monitor sea conditions and exercise caution along affected areas.

Limit marine activities where possible. Fisher folk are advised to take the necessary precautions in securing their vessels
