Surf's up, beach lovers! The National Weather Service is bringing you the hot scoop on Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands' wave action.
Today's looking like a sun-soaked paradise with mostly sunny skies and scattered showers dancing across the horizon. Surfers and beach bums, take note: we're seeing surf heights hovering around 3 to 4 feet, with some spicy variations depending on your coastal neighborhood.
The North Central and Southwest regions are serving up moderate rip current risks, so keep those water safety skills sharp. Winds are cruising steadily from the east at 10 to 15 miles per hour, creating some nice texture for wave riders.
Culebra and St. Croix are bringing extra energy with winds cranking up to 15-20 miles per hour and slightly more aggressive surf conditions. Expect around 4-foot waves that'll keep things interesting for intermediate surfers.
As we roll into the weekend, expect a pretty consistent pattern - sunny mornings, occasional tropical showers, and those reliable east winds keeping things cool. Surf heights will mellow out to around 3 feet, perfect for casual swimmers and beginner board riders.
Pro tip from the National Weather Service: even with low rip current risks, stay alert near jetties, reefs, and piers where sneaky currents can catch you off guard.
Monday's forecast looks like a carbon copy of beach perfection - sunny skies, isolated showers, and waves that promise some sweet Caribbean riding.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy that tropical playground!
