Cold front drives high tides and surge along Cayman coast
Powerful tidal surges and unusually rough seas pounded Cayman’s coastline over the weekend, disrupting marine activity and creating dramatic scenes – and some minor damage – along the George Town waterfront as a cold front moved through the northwestern Caribbean.
Conditions worsened quickly from Saturday, 31 Jan., after Cayman’s National Weather Service issued a marine watch. By Saturday evening, offshore wave heights had climbed to about four to six feet, increasing overnight to seven to nine feet as heavy seas pushed toward the islands.
