Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Welcome to your latest surf forecast straight from the National Weather Service. Today, we're diving into the surf conditions for the Mariana Islands and boy, do we have some exciting updates for you.
Let's start with the current situation - there's a low risk of rip currents expected for all reefs, but keep an eye out as it may become moderate for east-facing reefs tomorrow night. There's also a moderate chance of lightning tonight as a trough passes through the area.
Now, let's talk surf height. For tonight, expect 2 to 4 feet on north and east-facing reefs, 1 to 2 feet on south-facing reefs, and 1 to 3 feet on west-facing reefs. The primary swell is coming from the east at 2 to 3 feet with an 8-second period. Water temperature at the Tanapag buoy will be a toasty 86 degrees with coastal winds blowing from the east at 10 to 15 mph.
Moving on to Sunday and Sunday night, surf heights will be relatively similar with a bit of a bump on east-facing reefs at 3 to 5 feet. The primary swell will also increase slightly to 3 to 4 feet from the east with an 8-second period. Afternoon heat index is expected to reach around 103, so make sure to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. Coastal winds will shift to the northeast at 10 to 15 mph.
Looking ahead, the east swell of 3 to 4 feet is likely to continue through the late week. And don't forget to check the tide information for the next 36 hours at various locations across the islands. Remember, always be cautious of rip currents, especially in areas with strong currents.
