Good morning beach lovers and water enthusiasts. It's Wednesday, May 20th, and we've got your complete surf zone forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands coming your way.
Let's start up north. If you're planning a beach day in San Juan and vicinity, including Carolina and Toa Baja, expect moderate rip current risk with surf around five feet. The weather looks mostly sunny with scattered showers throughout the day, and east winds running ten to fifteen miles per hour. Thursday brings more of the same story with five foot waves and moderate rip currents, so plan accordingly.
Over on the northeast side around Luquillo, Fajardo, and Humacao, we're also seeing five foot surf with moderate rip current risk. Today starts mostly cloudy until nine in the morning before clearing up to mostly sunny skies. East winds pick up a bit to around fifteen miles per hour. Thursday continues the pattern with partly sunny conditions and scattered showers.
Moving along the north central coast near Arecibo and Vega Baja, today features five foot waves and moderate rip current risk, but keep an eye out because isolated thunderstorms are possible later in the day. Winds start around ten miles per hour but increase to about twenty in the afternoon. Thursday calms down slightly with sunny skies until noon, then mostly cloudy conditions take over with scattered showers and those isolated thunderstorms.
The northwest beaches of Aguadilla and Isabela are also looking at five foot surf with moderate rip current risk. Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected, especially after noon today. East winds similar to the north central zone, starting around ten and ramping up to twenty miles per hour. Thursday brings more of that afternoon cloud cover and thunderstorm activity.
Now here's something a bit different. The Mayaguez area, including Aguada, Anasco, and Rincon, is reporting lower energy. You're looking at around three foot waves with low rip current risk. That's good news if you're in that zone. Mostly sunny conditions this morning transition to partly sunny by afternoon with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Light winds around ten miles per hour.
The southwest near Cabo Rojo and Guanica shows four foot surf with moderate rip current risk and a bit more wind energy, with east winds fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Conditions look fairly settled with partly sunny skies today and mostly sunny tomorrow.
Down in the Ponce area, you've got four foot waves with moderate rip current risk and scattered showers. Winds are more moderate at ten to fifteen miles per hour. Thursday looks to be the better of the two days with mostly sunny conditions.
Southeast Puerto Rico including Maunabo and Yabucoa presents an interesting forecast. Today brings four foot waves, but tomorrow actually pumps up to five feet before settling back down. Moderate rip current risk is the story for both days.
Out at Culebra, expect five foot waves today and Thursday with moderate rip current risk and consistent east winds around twenty miles per hour. Scattered showers are on the menu throughout the period.
Vieques is running slightly smaller at four feet with that same twenty mile per hour east wind that characterizes the eastern islands. Moderate rip current risk continues here as well.
Moving to the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John are showing four foot waves with moderate rip current risk and east winds around twenty miles per hour. Friday sees the waves dip to three feet, but conditions remain mostly sunny.
Finally, St. Croix rounds out the forecast with five foot waves today and tomorrow, the highest readings in the Virgin Islands. Moderate rip current risk is present, and east winds hold steady around twenty miles per hour. Friday and beyond will see waves settle to the four foot range.
Looking ahead to the weekend, a general trend of slightly smaller waves appears across most zones, with Friday through Sunday typically showing waves in the three to four foot range depending on location. Scattered showers remain a daily possibility throughout the forecast period, and those moderate east winds continue relatively steady.
Remember, even when rip current risk is low, stay aware near structures like groins and jetties where hazardous currents can form. Have a great day on the water out there.
