Catch the wave, beach lovers! We're diving into the surf report for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and things are looking pretty sweet.
Today's hitting moderate rip current conditions across most regions, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert. Expect some solid four-foot swells rolling in, perfect for intermediate riders looking to catch some action.
San Juan and surrounding beaches will start sunny this morning before scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms sneak in. East winds around 10 miles per hour will keep things interesting. The northeastern beaches are looking similarly spicy with partly sunny skies and those classic Caribbean scattered showers.
As we cruise into Saturday, expect conditions to shift. Southeast winds will pick up, especially in the afternoon, potentially cranking up to 15 miles per hour. Clouds will dominate, with numerous showers and occasional thunderstorms creating a dramatic backdrop for water enthusiasts.
Culebra and St. Croix are serving up the most impressive waves, with five-foot swells today that'll drop to a still-respectable three to four feet over the weekend. East winds around 15 miles per hour will add some extra spice to your maritime adventures.
Weekend warriors should prepare for partly sunny to mostly sunny conditions with scattered showers. Surf heights will mellow out to around three feet, but that moderate rip current risk means staying vigilant is key.
Pro tip: Always check local conditions, respect the ocean, and when in doubt, don't go out. Stay safe and enjoy those epic Caribbean waves!
