From today’s 06:00 Météo-France alert, translation by Google:
Current situation
A fairly energetic swell from north to northeast arrived this night on our coasts.
Forecasts
The swell from north to northeast settles down quickly this morning.
The sea is strong with troughs close to 3m50, even 4m further offshore, for a period of 12 to 14 seconds.
This swell, hollow and quite long, a little effect at sea but it caused strong surges on the coasts and agitation in the usually sheltered places (harbor of Gustavia).
Tomorrow Monday, the situation changes little if not very slight depreciation, the lows of 3.50 m in the morning no longer exceeding 3 m in the evening, in a swell that keeps a dominant north.
Tuesday, the amortization is more significant and the swell gradually loses in the northern component.
