Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, brought to you by the National Weather Service in San Juan. Let's start with the northern shores. If you're planning a session in San Juan, the northeast coast near Rio Grande and Fajardo, or up in Aguadilla and Isabela, expect consistent five-foot waves throughout today and Tuesday. The moderate rip current risk means life-threatening currents are possible, so swim smart and stay aware of your surroundings. Both days will feature cloudy skies with showers and scattered thunderstorms, so the rain might cool you off between sets. Light east winds around five miles per hour will keep things relatively calm. By Wednesday, conditions remain similar with five-foot surf and plenty of moisture in the air. Thursday brings a slight improvement with partly sunny skies and scattered showers, while Friday wraps up the week with four-foot waves and numerous showers. Over in the Mayaguez area and Rincon, the surf will be slightly smaller at around four feet today and Tuesday, though the moderate rip current risk still applies. Wednesday looks prettier with partly sunny skies and isolated showers, giving you some quality windows. By Friday, expect three-foot waves with better sunshine, making it a solid day to be on the water. The southern coast tells a different story. Down in Ponce, the southwest near Cabo Rojo, and the southeast beaches of Arroyo and Guayama, you're looking at much smaller, gentler waves around two to three feet. The rip current risk drops to low, which is great news for swimmers and casual beach-goers. These areas will also see showers scattered throughout the five-day period, but overall conditions remain mellow and manageable. Culebra and Vieques sit in the middle of the spectrum. Culebra holds moderate rip current risk with five-foot waves today and Tuesday, while Vieques keeps things a bit smaller at three feet with lower rip current risk. Both islands will experience consistent showers and thunderstorms throughout the forecast period, with Culebra maintaining the five-foot range through the weekend while Vieques stays in the three to four-foot range. Over in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John expect four to five-foot waves with moderate rip current risk today through Friday. East winds are fresher here, ranging from around fifteen miles per hour with some afternoon diminishing on Tuesday. St. Croix offers similar four-foot conditions with moderate rip current risk and comparable wind patterns. The bottom line for the next five days: widespread showers and thunderstorms are the norm across the region, so come prepared for wet weather between sessions. The northern and eastern exposures will offer the most consistent swell at five feet, while southern and western beaches provide mellower, more beginner-friendly two to four-foot options.
