Attention surfers and beach lovers! We've got an epic wave forecast coming your way for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Hold onto your boards because today's conditions are absolutely killer!
High surf warnings are in effect until 6 PM, with massive waves approaching 12 feet in many regions. The north and northeast coasts are experiencing the most intense surf, promising adrenaline-pumping rides for experienced wave hunters. San Juan, Rio Grande, and the surrounding areas are looking at spectacular surf conditions.
Rip current risk is high today, so listen up! These are not your average ocean currents - we're talking serious potential for dangerous water conditions. Experienced surfers only should consider hitting these waves, and even then, extreme caution is advised.
Winds are predominantly coming from the east, ranging between 5 to 10 miles per hour, which will help shape some potentially epic breaks. The weather is mostly sunny with scattered showers adding a bit of tropical drama to the scene.
As we roll into Saturday, the waves will calm down to around 6 feet - still solid for intermediate surfers. The high rip current risk continues, so stay alert and respect the ocean's power.
Looking ahead to Sunday and beyond, expect consistently moderate surf around 4-5 feet with mostly sunny conditions. East winds will remain steady, promising consistent wave patterns.
Pro tip: Always check local conditions, bring the right gear, and never surf alone in these challenging conditions. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy the incredible Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands waves!
