Land-based this week in St Thomas. Trying to get a day in over at St John, Trunk or Maho. North Swell starts building tomorrow, 5 feet in the offshore waters and 10 ft forecasted by Wednesday. How are the beaches in those conditions? What about Francis with its better protection?

All the North side beaches will be effected. If the swell is NNE Francis might be a bit better but it tends to wrap around and into all the Northern anchorages. 5 feet you can still enjoy the beach. 10 feet will be interesting!

I dont think your definition of interesting and 3 year olds mix. Thanks George, I think we're going to make a run for it tomorrow before things deteriorate.
