Surface highs over the central Atlantic will maintain an easterly moderate to fresh breeze through the weekend. These conditions will keep rough to hazardous seas across the offshore Atlantic waters and the Anegada Passage, where Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through Friday. Boaters should also use caution across all other local waters, including the waters surrounding the U.S. Virgin Islands, as choppy seas and occasional stronger winds may still create challenging conditions. Even after advisories expire, breezy conditions and choppy seas up to around 6 feet, especially across the Atlantic waters, are expected to continue into early next week. $$ AMZ711-280915- Atlantic Waters of Puerto Rico and USVI from 10 NM to 19.5N- 420 PM AST Thu Nov 27 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING... .TONIGHT...East winds 15 to 20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots.
