A surface high pressure will continue to build near the Azores through the weekend. A weak cold front and another surface high pressure will move from the western Atlantic into the central Atlantic during the next few days. This will promote moderate to locally fresh east to southeast trades across the local waters. Increasing winds and a long period northerly swell will cause choppy to rough seas, mostly over the Atlantic offshore waters. Small Craft Advisory (SCA) conditions are expected across these waters, however, SCA conditions can spread into portions of the Anegada and Caribbean waters later this weekend. $$ AMZ711-112130- Atlantic Waters of Puerto Rico and USVI from 10 NM to 19.5N- 418 AM AST Thu Dec 11 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON... .TODAY...Southeast winds 15 to 20 knots, diminishing to 10 to 15 knots this afternoon.
