Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Ready for the latest scoop on the waves? Let's dive into the surf forecast for the Mariana Islands brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.
Current conditions include a moderate risk of rip currents along east-facing reefs with a low risk elsewhere. Keep an eye out for a moderate risk of lightning through at least Wednesday.
For the next 36 hours from 6 PM Monday to 6 AM Wednesday:
- North-facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet
- East-facing reefs: 3 to 5 feet
- South-facing reefs: 2 to 4 feet
- West-facing reefs: 1 to 3 feet
- Primary swell: East at 2 to 4 feet with a period of 8 seconds
- Water temperature: 86 Degrees at Ritidian buoy
- Maximum afternoon heat index: Around 99
- Coastal Winds: Starting from Northeast at 10 mph, shifting to northwest wind on Tuesday
Looking ahead, there's some uncertainty due to Invest 91W. Winds might relax mid-week, decreasing seas. However, intensification of 91W could bring stronger southerly winds, leading to increased seas, swells, and surf over the Marianas.
Don't forget to check the tide information for the next 36 hours at various locations across the islands!
Remember, always stay safe and be prepared. If you encounter a rip current, swim parallel to the beach. And as always, keep a flotation device handy.
