Hillsborough Bay and the Grenada–Carriacou passage · Late July to early August
Not yet available from GMS
The Carriacou Regatta Festival forecast will appear here once GMS publishes it.
Workboat and yacht racing off Carriacou, with heavy small-craft traffic on the passage.
| If this happens | The organiser |
|---|---|
| Small craft advisory in effect | Restrict spectator craft movements on the passage |
| Sustained wind above 25 kt | Review workboat classes; consider postponement |
| Tropical cyclone watch for the tri-island state | Suspend the programme and secure vessels |
The festival falls inside the most active part of the hurricane season, so the tropical outlook is briefed daily as well as the local forecast.
Conditions in the passage are consistently rougher than in Hillsborough Bay.
