Surf's up, beach lovers! Let's dive into today's epic coastal conditions for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Mother Nature is serving up some seriously sweet waves today, with surf heights hovering around a solid 4 feet across most regions. East winds are cranking between 10 to 15 miles per hour, perfect for those looking to catch some serious swells.
Rip current risk is moderate, so water warriors need to stay alert. While the conditions look tempting, life-threatening currents could be lurking, especially near jetties, reefs, and piers. Safety first, thrill-seekers!
The weather is looking mostly sunny with scattered showers dancing across the horizon. Expect a mix of bright skies and occasional tropical sprinkles that'll keep things interesting. San Juan, Northeast PR, and the Southeast are looking particularly gorgeous with those classic Caribbean vibes.
Memorial Day brings similar conditions, though some areas like Mayaguez and Ponce will see the rip current risk dropping to low. Winds will continue their easterly flow, and you can expect partly sunny skies with numerous showers and the occasional thunderstorm spicing things up.
For our friends in the Virgin Islands, St. Croix and St. Thomas can anticipate similar surf conditions with winds pushing around 15 to 20 miles per hour. Culebra and Vieques are also set for some epic beach days.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on local conditions, respect the ocean, and always swim near a lifeguard. Stay stoked, stay safe, and enjoy these killer Puerto Rican waves!
