Hello. Our first time chartering the USVI will be next week. From our research we see that a north swell can make things pretty rough in certain anchorages/moorings. We have been trying to familiarize ourselves with the info on windguru but I’m a bit lost on “wave period” and what that might mean for us.

Bottom line is we would love to know what places to steer clear of in STT and STJ when a north swell is happening and also know how to recognize when this swell event in coming (wave period?)

Thank you in advance.
