Georgetown: Coastal Guyana has been under threat by spring tides since Tuesday 8th Jan 2013, and according to the Hydrometrological Office on Monday 14th Jan 2013 a frontal system passed through the Atlantic, just north east of the Lesser Antilles. This supported increase in wind flow/speeds resulting from the weather system coupled with the spring tides would have created the type of storm surges experience yesterday afternoon along Guyana’s coast
It was further noted that the current spring tides are expected to continue until 16th Jan, 2013. Although the amplitude of the swells has decreased over the last 12 hours, sea conditions remain hazardous as all marine interests are advised to continue to exercise extreme caution as models are suggesting rough and high seas in open waters and along coast of Guyana for next 24 to 36 hours.
