**Tonight through Thursday night (6 PM to 6 AM Friday):**
- **Rip current risk:** Moderate.
- **Surf Height:**
- North facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet.
- East facing reefs: 4 to 6 feet.
- South facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet.
- West facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet.
- **Swell/Period:**
- Primary swell: East at 2 to 4 feet.
- Primary period: 8 seconds.
- Secondary swell: Southwest at 1 to 2 feet.
- Secondary period: 8 seconds.
- **Water temperature:** Tanapag buoy at 86 degrees.
- **Maximum afternoon heat index:** Around 101.
- **Coastal Winds:** Southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

**OUTLOOK:** Surf along south and west facing reefs is expected to build 1 to 3 feet through the weekend as the southwest swell increases. This may cause the risk of rip currents to become moderate along these reefs. The east swell is likely to weaken, leading to a potential drop of 1 to 2 feet along east facing reefs, which could decrease the risk of rip currents to low by late weekend.

So, keep an eye out for those rip currents and enjoy the waves responsibly!
