Hey there surfers and beachgoers! Are you ready to ride some waves in the Mariana Islands? Let's check out the surf forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.
Currently, we have a moderate risk of rip currents lingering along the north and east facing reefs. This is due to a combination of a northeast to east swell and a background northerly swell.
In the next 36 hours, here's what you can expect:
- North facing reefs will have waves ranging from 4 to 6 feet.
- East facing reefs will see higher waves at 6 to 8 feet.
- South facing reefs will have smaller waves between 1 to 3 feet.
- And west facing reefs will range from 2 to 4 feet.
Primary swell direction from the Northeast at 4 to 6 feet with a 10-second period, a secondary swell from the North at around 3 feet with the same period. Water temperatures are looking pleasant, estimated between 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Coastal winds are expected to blow from the East at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Don't forget your sunscreen as the maximum afternoon heat index can reach around 97 degrees.
Looking ahead, the surf will likely diminish slightly over the weekend into next week. The rip current risk may decrease along the north facing reefs but will probably remain moderate along the east facing reefs.
And remember, always practice caution when in the water. Be prepared with a flotation device, especially in areas with stronger currents.
So, grab your boards and enjoy the waves while staying safe out there! Have a fantastic time surfing in the Mariana Islands. Until next time, stay stoked and catch you on the next swell!
