Description
Fresh to strong gusty winds are forecast to cause a combination of wind waves and
wind swells to reach very hazardous levels, especially in open Atlantic waters. The threat level to the life, livelihood, property and infrastructure of mariners is to rise to high with the potential for extensive impacts. A small craft warning means that wind speeds of 41 km/h or higher (22 knots or higher) and or wind waves and or wind swells of 2.7 metres (9 feet) or greater are occurring or imminent.
