Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a sun-soaked week across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands with some killer beach conditions coming your way.
We're looking at a consistent 3-foot surf across most regions, perfect for intermediate surfers and beach loungers alike. The eastern and northern shores of Puerto Rico are serving up some primo wave action, with beaches in San Juan, Carolina, Rio Grande, and Luquillo offering stellar conditions.
Winds are staying steady from the east at 5 to 10 miles per hour, creating that classic Caribbean breeze that'll keep you cool while catching rays. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with a tropical twist - scattered showers and the occasional thunderstorm will pop up to add some dramatic flair to your beach day.
Rip current risk remains low across all areas, but hey, always stay alert near jetties, reefs, and piers. Those spots can get tricky even on calm days.
Culebra and St. Thomas are bringing some extra wind power, with breezes cranking up to 15 miles per hour by Saturday. Coastal areas like St. Croix and Vieques will see similar playful conditions with waves dancing around 2 to 3 feet.
Pro tip: Grab your sunscreen, a cool drink, and get ready to soak up some Caribbean magic. Whether you're a wave rider or a sand lounger, this week's forecast is pure tropical paradise.
Stay stoked and stay safe out there, beach warriors!
