Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for some serious wave action in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today's throwing down a high surf advisory that'll have adrenaline junkies and cautious swimmers taking notice.
Buckle up for monster waves around 11 feet in San Juan, Northeast, and North Central Puerto Rico - these are serious swells that demand respect. Expect east winds dancing between 5 to 15 miles per hour, creating a dynamic ocean playground.
Rip current risk is screaming HIGH today, which means ocean lovers need to bring their A-game. Life-threatening currents are likely, so pay attention and stay alert. Those jetties, reefs, and piers? They're your potential danger zones.
The good news? Sunny skies are breaking through with just a sprinkle of isolated showers to keep things interesting. Perfect beach weather with a side of adventure.
By Monday, waves will calm down to around 6 feet, but the rip current risk remains high in most areas. The Virgin Islands are seeing similar conditions, with St. Thomas and St. John expecting impressive 6-foot waves and high rip current dangers.
Some coastal regions like Southwest and Southeast Puerto Rico are seeing more mellow 3 to 4-foot waves with lower rip current risks. Culebra and Vieques are holding steady with moderate conditions.
Pro tip: Check local conditions, respect the ocean, and when in doubt, don't go out. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the spectacular Puerto Rican coastline!
