- •
An ocean–atmosphere model is prescribed for the Belizean Barrier Reef.
- •
Alternative models with various resolutions are implemented.
- •
The performance of the alternative models is assessed using observations.
- •
The highest-resolution model with tides accurately predicts surface transport.
- •
Resolving tidal flows and looping trajectories is important to improve predictions.
