Ahoy there, surfers and beachgoers! Welcome to your official surf forecast report from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam. Let's dive into the latest updates for the Marianas Islands!
Currently, there's a slight chance for an isolated lightning strike or two up until sunset. So be sure to keep an eye on the skies. We've got a moderate risk for rip currents continuing on the north, east, and west facing reefs, with a low risk on the south facing ones.
Now, let's talk surf heights and conditions for the next 36 hours:
- North facing reefs: Expect waves between 4 to 7 feet.
- East facing reefs: Look out for waves ranging from 3 to 5 feet.
- South facing reefs: Waves will be mellow, about 1 to 3 feet high.
- West facing reefs: Surf heights should be around 3 to 5 feet.
In terms of the swell, the primary swell is coming from the North at 3 to 5 feet with a period of 10 to 11 seconds. Meanwhile, a secondary swell from the East will be at 2 to 3 feet with an 8-second period.
And don't forget to check out the water temperature at Ritidian buoy, which is a toasty 87 degrees!
Looking ahead, anticipate seas and surf to pick up a foot or two as we head towards late Thursday into Friday. Plus, keep an eye on the coastal winds shifting from light and variable to a northern breeze at 10 mph by late Wednesday.
So, grab your boards and get ready to catch some waves in the beautiful Marianas! Remember to stay safe, watch out for rip currents, and have a blast out there.
