Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands Surf Forecast High Rip Current Risk Through Sunday April 10
Surf Report San Juan Puerto Rico
About
Good morning, this is your surf forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, issued Friday, April 10th at 3:54 AM.
We're tracking a high rip current risk across much of Puerto Rico through Sunday afternoon, so pay close attention if you're planning to hit the water.
Starting with the northern zones, San Juan and the surrounding beaches are looking at around six feet of surf today under sunny skies with just isolated showers. Southeast winds will be light, around 10 miles per hour, but here's the thing—there's a high rip current risk in effect, so swimmers and surfers need to stay alert out there.
Saturday follows a similar pattern with six-foot surf and mostly sunny conditions, though a few isolated showers are possible. East winds pick up slightly to 10 to 15 miles per hour, and that high rip current risk continues.
Moving east, the Northeast PR zone including Luquillo and Fajardo also has high rip current risk today and Saturday with six-foot waves and mostly sunny skies. A few scattered showers are likely, so don't be surprised if you get wet even without going in the water.
The North Central coast and Northwest zones maintain the same high rip current advisory through Sunday. Expect six-foot surf and scattered showers, though the Northwest beaches see lighter winds, just 5 to 10 miles per hour early on.
Now, if you're heading to the western side around Mayaguez and Rincon, conditions are a bit calmer with moderate rip current risk, four to five foot surf, and lighter winds around five miles per hour today and Saturday.
The Southwest corner around Cabo Rojo brings us down to three-foot surf with low rip current risk and lighter shower activity. That's your mellower option if you want to avoid the crowd and the higher energy zones.
The Southeast beaches near Ponce and Guayama are also looking at low rip current risk with three-foot waves and minimal shower chances today and tomorrow.
Out at Culebra, we're back to high energy with six-foot surf today and Saturday under the high rip current advisory. Stronger east winds around 15 miles per hour will be a factor, so keep that in mind if you're planning a trip out there.
Vieques and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including St. Thomas and St. Croix, show moderate rip current risk with four to five foot surf and consistent east winds in the 15 to 20 mile per hour range as we move into the week.
Looking ahead to Sunday, that rip current risk begins to ease across most zones. Surf stays steady around five to six feet on the northern coasts, dropping to three to four feet along the southern shores. Scattered showers with a few isolated thunderstorms become more common, especially across the north and west.
By Monday, shower activity increases significantly across the board with numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms expected. Surf continues to trend slightly smaller, dropping to around five feet along most northern beaches and holding at three to four feet in the south.
Tuesday wraps up the period with mostly cloudy skies, continued shower chances, and similar surf heights. Winds turn more northeast with some stronger gusts, particularly as we move toward the evening hours.
The bottom line: if you're getting in the water over the next few days, especially through Sunday, exercise extreme caution in areas with high rip current risk. Know how to identify and escape a rip current. Stay aware of your surroundings, watch for groins, jetties, and reefs where dangerous currents often form, and always check current conditions before heading out. Have a safe and enjoyable time in the water.
