Surf's up, beach lovers and wave chasers! We're looking at some serious surf action across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands today.
If you're heading to the northern and eastern beaches from San Juan to Rio Grande, buckle up for some gnarly conditions. We're talking about massive 6-foot swells that are packing a serious punch. The rip current risk is cranked up to HIGH, so swimmers and surfers need to be extra cautious.
Today's forecast is a wild mix of sun and storm. Expect mostly sunny skies until noon, then clouds will roll in with scattered showers and potential thunderstorms. Winds will be light and dancing around from the southeast at about 5 miles per hour.
The weekend's looking pretty epic for wave riders. Saturday and Sunday will serve up consistent surf heights around 5-6 feet with plenty of sunshine and those classic Caribbean east winds hovering around 10 mph.
For our Virgin Islands crew, St. Thomas and St. John are seeing moderate rip current risks with 5-foot swells. St. Croix is riding slightly smaller waves around 4 feet but still packing some serious energy.
Pro tip for all you beach enthusiasts: respect the ocean, watch for those rip currents, and always swim near a lifeguard. These conditions demand your full attention and skills.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy those gorgeous Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands waves!
