# Surf Forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands

Good morning, this is your surf forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, issued Wednesday, April 8th at 3:31 AM.

Let's start up north where things are getting interesting. San Juan and vicinity is looking at moderate rip current risk today with surf around four feet. You'll see mostly sunny skies with some scattered showers and southeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour. But Thursday is when conditions shift. High rip current risk moves in with surf bumping up to around six feet. East winds stay light at ten to fifteen miles per hour, so if you're thinking about heading out, just be aware of those dangerous rip currents.

Moving east to the Northeast PR beaches around Luquillo and Fajardo, today brings moderate rip current risk with four-foot surf. There's a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms with southeast winds ten to fifteen. Thursday escalates to high rip current risk with six-foot waves, so exercise caution if you venture into the water. By Friday, conditions ease to five-foot surf with east winds around ten miles per hour.

The North Central coast including Arecibo and Dorado is one of the better spots this week. Today shows moderate rip current risk and four-foot surf under sunny skies. Thursday brings the high rip current risk again, but here's the bonus: surf reaches around seven feet, which is the best we're seeing across the island. That's definitely worth watching. Conditions gradually settle down through the weekend.

Over on the Northwest side around Aguadilla and Isabela, moderate rip current risk today with four-foot surf. There's more shower activity here, so bring some patience with the weather. Thursday sees high rip current risk with six-foot waves and numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms. The rest of the weekend stays fairly consistent with six-foot waves.

The western side offers milder conditions. Mayaguez area shows low rip current risk today with just three-foot surf, the calmest around. Thursday bumps to moderate risk with four-foot waves, and showers increase. The southwestern beaches near Cabo Rojo and Lajas are also relatively calm, with moderate risk today but dropping to low risk Thursday as surf stays small at three feet.

Down south, Ponce and the surrounding area presents moderate risk today with four-foot surf, but Thursday drops to low risk with just three-foot waves. This pattern continues through the weekend with small, manageable surf and improving conditions.

The southeastern beaches around Arroyo and Maunabo stay moderate risk with four-foot surf today and Thursday, then conditions ease into the three-foot range through the rest of the week.

For the islands, Culebra shows moderate risk today with four feet but jumps to high risk Thursday with six-foot waves and stronger east winds around fifteen miles per hour. Vieques maintains moderate risk throughout with consistent four-foot surf. St. Thomas and St. John start with low risk and three-foot surf today, upgrading to moderate risk Thursday with five-foot waves. St. Croix shows moderate risk today and tomorrow with four to five-foot surf.

The big story here is Thursday. Most of the northern and northeastern coasts will see high rip current risk, so swimmers and surfers need to be extra cautious around groins, jetties, and reefs. Conditions improve and settle down heading into the weekend. Overall, it's a week of scattered showers with a few thunderstorms mixed in, so pack accordingly if you're heading to the beach.
