Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Welcome to your one-stop-shop for all things surf-related! Today, we're diving into the latest surf forecast for the Mariana Islands brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.
Let's get right into it - currently, we have a southwest to west swell generating waves of up to 9 feet along with a high risk of rip currents on the west-facing reefs. As the swell decreases, so will the surf and rip current risk by Wednesday.
For tonight, expect surf heights ranging from 5 to 7 feet on north-facing reefs, 3 to 5 feet on east and south-facing reefs, and 7 to 9 feet on west-facing reefs. The primary swell is coming from the southwest at 5 to 7 feet with a period of 10 seconds. Keep an eye out for those rip currents and a southeast wind at 10 to 15 mph decreasing to 10 mph after midnight.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, the surf heights will remain similar with a moderate risk of rip currents. South and west-facing reefs will see waves between 6 to 8 feet. The primary swell will be southwest to west at 4 to 6 feet with a period of 9 seconds. The afternoon heat index will be around 101, so stay hydrated and watch out for those currents!
As we move towards the end of the week, surf is expected to drop by 1 to 2 feet along south and west-facing reefs by Friday.
