Alright, surfers and beachgoers, it's time for your daily dose of surf forecast fun brought to you by the National Weather Service!

Today's surf zone forecast is for the Mariana Islands, specifically from Guam to Saipan including Rota and Tinian. So, what's on the horizon for the next 36 hours? Let's dive in, shall we?

Starting off with the surf heights, we've got some decent sets rolling in:
- North facing reefs: 5 to 8 feet
- East facing reefs: 3 to 5 feet
- South facing reefs: 1 to 3 feet
- West facing reefs: 3 to 5 feet

In terms of swells:
- Primary swell from the North at 3 to 5 feet with a period of 10 to 12 seconds
- Secondary swell from the East at around 2 feet with a period of 8 seconds

And hey, don't forget your sunblock because the water temperature at the Ritidian buoy is a toasty 86 degrees with a maximum afternoon heat index around 104.

Wrap it all up with some coastal winds coming from the East to Southeast at a breezy 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Looking ahead, expect a moderate risk of rip currents along north and east facing reefs as we anticipate an elevated north to northeast swell and a slight increase in easterly trade swell.

Tide information is also crucial, so make sure you check the tides if you plan to hit the water in the next 36 hours at spots like Apra Harbor, Rota Island, Tinian Island, and Tanapag Harbor, Saipan.

Remember, always prioritize safety - a low risk of rip currents is still significant, so keep that flotation device handy, especially near jetties and reef channels.

And there you have it, folks! Your surf forecast for the Mariana Islands is set. So, grab your boards, catch those waves, and stay safe out there!
