Marine Advisories remain in effect
Meanwhile, hazardous sea conditions persist between 2.4 to 3.1 metres or 8 to 10 feet with northerly swells reaching 2.1 metres or 7 feet.
High surf advisory and small craft caution remains in effect.
According to DDM, beach goers should avoid the beaches due to dangerous surfs and rip currents and mariners should exercise caution while sailing vessels.
The high sea swells have thrown rocks on some low lying roads across Tortola, including in Carrot Bay and Cane Garden Bay.
