Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for some serious wave action across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We're looking at a high-risk rip current scenario that's going to keep surfers and swimmers on their toes.
For the next couple of days, most coastal areas are expecting monster waves around 6 feet tall - perfect for experienced surfers but definitely not for casual swimmers. San Juan, Northeast PR, North Central PR, Northwest PR, and the Virgin Islands are all under a high rip current warning through Tuesday afternoon.
If you're heading to the beaches, here's the scoop: Expect mostly sunny skies with a chance of scattered showers. Winds will be dancing between east and southeast, blowing around 5 to 10 miles per hour. Culebra is seeing the biggest waves, with surf heights potentially reaching 7 feet today.
Some areas like Southwest PR, Ponce, and Southeast PR are experiencing mellower conditions with lower surf heights around 2-4 feet and a moderate to low rip current risk. St. Croix and Vieques are also seeing more relaxed wave conditions.
Critical warning for all beach-goers: life-threatening rip currents are likely, especially near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers. If you're not a strong swimmer, stick to the beach and enjoy the view.
As we move into Wednesday and New Year's Day, expect gradually decreasing surf heights and continuing sunny to partly sunny conditions. Stay safe, stay informed, and respect the ocean's power!
