Alright, surfers and beachgoers, let's dive into the latest surf forecast for the Mariana Islands!
This forecast was issued by the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam and covers the period from 6 PM Thursday to 6 AM Saturday.
Starting off, we have a moderate risk of rip currents along the north and east facing reefs for the next few days. So, be cautious out there and stay safe!
Now, let's talk surf heights:
- North facing reefs: 3 to 5 feet
- East facing reefs: 4 to 7 feet
- South facing reefs: 1 to 3 feet
- West facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet
In terms of swells, we're looking at:
- Primary swell coming from the East at 4 to 5 feet with a period of 8 seconds
- Secondary swell from the North at around 2 feet with a period of 11 seconds
The water temperature is estimated to be between 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, so get ready for some warm waves!
Maximum afternoon heat index could reach around 97 degrees, so make sure to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun.
Coastal winds are coming from the East at 10 to 20 miles per hour, providing a nice breeze along the shores.
Looking ahead, surf conditions are expected to remain fairly stable in the coming days, so get ready for some consistent waves.
And don't forget about the tide information for the next 36 hours at various locations like Apra Harbor, Rota Island, Tinian Island, and Tanapag Harbor, Saipan.
Remember, a moderate risk of rip currents means wave conditions can support stronger currents, so always have a flotation device with you when in the water.
Alright, surfers, that's a wrap for the Mariana Islands surf forecast. Stay safe, catch some waves, and enjoy the ocean responsibly!
