The Met Office says a high surf advisory remains in effect for Antigua and Barbuda, the rest of the Leeward Islands and the British Virgin Islands until Tuesday. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It said the roughs<\/g> seas are caused by low, northeast swells, from Hurricane Oscar, reaching the islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These swells are expected to cause dangerous breaking waves (surfs) and life-threatening rip currents,” according to forecaster Dale Destin.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Seas: 1.5 to 2 metres<\/g> or 5 to 7 feet and occasionally reaching exceeding 2.5 metres<\/g> or reaching 9 feet. Northeast swells of near 1 to 2 metres<\/g> or 4 to 6 feet and occasionally reaching 2.5 metres<\/g> or 8 feet. Surfs: Breaking swells or surfs of over 2 metres<\/g> or over 6 feet are expected. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Destin warns that these conditions will be conducive for dangerous rip currents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Please note that surfs could be as much as twice the height of swells. Coastal flooding: High tides combine with onshore wind and swell actions will result in localized coastal flooding and beach erosion. Locations (to be) affected: Mainly exposed and shallow northern and eastern facing beaches and coastlines,” Destin warns.<\/p>
