Good morning, this is your surf forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, brought to you by the National Weather Service in San Juan. Let's start with the northern zones. San Juan and vicinity beaches in Carolina, Toa Baja, and San Juan proper are looking pretty mellow today with around three feet of surf and a low rip current risk. The sun will be mostly out with just isolated showers and east winds holding around fifteen miles per hour. Tuesday though, things pick up slightly. We're expecting around four feet of surf with moderate rip current risk as those east winds persist. The pattern continues into midweek with four-foot conditions, partly sunny skies, and scattered showers. Moving northeast to Rio Grande, Luquillo, Fajardo, and Humacao, we're seeing similar conditions today. Three feet of surf with low rip current risk and mostly sunny skies, though you might catch some scattered showers. Again, Tuesday brings that four-foot swell and moderate rip current risk that sticks around through the period. Now heading up to the North Central coast including Arecibo, Manati, Vega Baja, and Dorado, today's a different story. We've got moderate rip current risk right from the start with four-foot surf. Winds start light at around ten miles per hour but increase to twenty in the afternoon. If you're planning to paddle out here, be mindful of those stronger afternoon winds. The pattern holds through the week with mostly sunny skies and that four-foot baseline. The Northwest including Aguadilla, Camuy, Isabela, and Quebradillas also has moderate rip currents today with four-foot surf and those consistent east winds. Thursday gets interesting though, with surf potentially touching five feet before settling back to four by Friday. Down the western side now to Mayaguez and the beaches of Aguada, Anasco, and Rincon, we're looking at calmer conditions with just three feet of surf and low rip current risk. The wind stays light at around ten miles per hour, making this a more relaxed zone compared to the northern exposures. The Southwest including Cabo Rojo, Guanica, and Lajas brings moderate rip current risk back into the picture with four-foot surf and those stronger east winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour today. Tuesday afternoon could see southeast winds bumping up to twenty as well. Central south near Ponce and Guayanilla starts with moderate rip currents and four-foot surf, dropping to three feet by Thursday before bouncing back to four on Friday. The Southeast zone covering Arroyo, Guayama, Maunabo, Patillas, and Yabucoa has moderate rip currents today with four feet. Tuesday's the highlight here with potential five-foot swell, so if you're chasing size, mark that date. Conditions settle back to four feet for the rest of the period. Out to the islands now. Culebra has moderate rip currents and four-foot surf today with brisk twenty-mile-per-hour east winds. Thursday and Friday look prime with five-foot potential and those moderate rip currents persisting. Vieques mirrors Culebra pretty closely with four-foot surf today and moderate rip currents. Thursday brings that five-foot window before dropping back Friday. Over in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John have low rip current risk today with three-foot surf and twenty-mile-per-hour winds. Tuesday escalates to moderate rip current risk and four-foot surf that holds through the week. Finally, St. Croix is the standout location this period. Moderate rip currents right out of the gate with four-foot surf today. Tuesday climbs to five feet, and here's the kicker: Thursday you could see six-foot surf, the biggest of the entire forecast period. That makes St. Croix your best bet for serious wave seekers this week. Winds stay consistent in the twenty-mile-per-hour range throughout. Overall, expect mostly sunny to partly sunny conditions across all zones with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms most likely midweek. East winds dominate everywhere, generally between ten and twenty miles per hour. Haze will be noticeable most days. Rip current risk ranges from low on some western and southern exposures to moderate across northern, eastern, and island zones. Always remember that life-threatening rip currents can occur near structures like groins, jetties, reefs, and piers even during low risk days. Have a great time on the water, stay safe, and enjoy the waves. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
