Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for an epic wave-riding adventure across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The surf zone is calling, and conditions are looking pretty sweet.
Today's forecast is serving up some seriously tasty waves around 4 feet high, with most areas rocking a moderate rip current risk. So listen up - these waters demand respect. Southeast Puerto Rico is scoring the biggest swells at around 5 feet, perfect for those experienced wave chasers.
Winds are blowing steady from the east at 10 to 20 miles per hour, creating that classic Caribbean surf environment. Expect mostly sunny skies with a hazy vibe and scattered showers to keep things interesting. Pro tip: keep an eye on those isolated thunderstorms, especially in the Mayaguez and southwest regions.
From San Juan to St. Croix, the beach scene is looking hot. St. Croix is bringing some extra excitement with slightly larger waves and intense wind conditions. Culebra and Vieques are also delivering solid surf with east winds around 20 miles per hour.
As we roll into the next few days, expect consistent wave heights around 3 to 4 feet. Sunny conditions will dominate, with those classic Caribbean scattered showers keeping things tropical. Wind patterns will gradually calm down, dropping to around 10 to 15 miles per hour by Friday and Saturday.
Surfers, stand-up paddleboarders, and beach lovers - this is your moment. Stay safe, watch those rip currents, and enjoy the spectacular Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands surf scene!
