Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for an epic coastal adventure across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today's looking like a moderate rip current day with waves around 4 feet, perfect for experienced surfers but requiring some serious caution.
The real excitement hits Saturday when we're cranking up to a high rip current risk with surf heights jumping to 6 feet in many areas. North Central Puerto Rico is looking at the most impressive swells, potentially reaching 7 feet - serious wave action for thrill-seekers!
Most regions will see mostly sunny conditions with scattered showers adding some tropical spice to your beach day. Winds are playing nice, hovering between 5 to 10 miles per hour, predominantly from the east and northeast.
San Juan, Northeast, and North Central Puerto Rican beaches are your prime spots for some serious wave riding. Just remember - these aren't your lazy poolside conditions. High rip current risks mean you'll want to stay alert and respect the ocean's power.
Weekend warriors take note: Saturday's your peak surf day. By Sunday, things mellow out to around 5-foot waves, still providing some sweet riding opportunities. As we roll into early next week, expect gradually decreasing surf heights and consistent east winds.
Pro tip: Pay attention to local warnings, watch for rip current indicators, and never surf alone. These waves are beautiful but demand respect. Stay safe, surf smart, and enjoy the incredible maritime playground Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are serving up!
