Crazy, rough seas today in Westpunt

[morecowbells]

Staying at Marazul up in Westpunt. Last night there was a lot of wind and some rain. Around midnight the seas were pounding the seawall so forcefully that it kept me awake. Skies have cleared with no wind but sea is still crazy.

When the winds change, west can be very bad. Flat calm out east today.

WOW!!! I would have never expected that! When we were at Marazul 2 years ago it would get some strong surge, but no where close to what your experiencing. @AndrewBoyd78, is there a particular time of year where this is more common, or is it just a bit more random?

Can’t say there’s much annual pattern but when the winds do change even a little watch out west!!

It is now 1 pm. Winds picking up a the sea even rougher. @RIHappyDiver , the bench on south steps at Marazul has been washed away.

The pier at Go West was damaged, not sure if it is even standing now. Tons of flotsam and sand in the sea.

the weather station called for something like this yesterday or the day before?

I have friends in Grand Cayman and they got whacked! Check out the Dive Tech Facebook page. Devastating. It was a massive weather front.
