Good morning, this is your Sunday surf zone forecast for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, issued at two forty-two AM Atlantic Standard Time.

A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK remains in effect through Monday afternoon for most northern and northeastern coastal areas. If you're heading to the beach, exercise extreme caution in the water as life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone.

Let's start with the northern coasts. San Juan and vicinity will see surf heights around six feet today with partly sunny skies and scattered showers. Southeast winds at five to ten miles per hour will keep conditions relatively calm. Monday brings more of the same with six-foot surf and high rip current risk, though increasing cloud cover and numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected before conditions improve.

Moving east along the north shore, the Northeast Puerto Rico beaches around Rio Grande, Luquillo, Fajardo and Humacao are also under the high rip current risk. Six-foot surf is expected today and Monday with similar shower activity and light to moderate east winds.

The North Central beaches from Arecibo to Dorado will also experience six-foot surf and high rip current conditions. Today starts sunny before becoming partly cloudy then cloudy with showers and isolated thunderstorms. Monday follows a similar pattern with mostly sunny skies early, then mostly cloudy with scattered showers as the day progresses.

Northwestern beaches including Aguadilla and Isabela round out the high rip current risk areas with six-foot surf and similar weather patterns. East winds remain light at around five miles per hour.

Now for Mayaguez and vicinity in the west, including Rincon and Aguada. Six-foot surf accompanies the high rip current risk both today and Monday. Most sunny conditions early each day give way to afternoon clouds and numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms possible.

Moving to the southern coasts, conditions improve considerably. The Southwest beaches around Cabo Rojo and Guanica show only low rip current risk with smaller three-foot surf. These areas will see mostly sunny mornings transitioning to mostly cloudy afternoons with just scattered showers.

Ponce and its vicinity beaches feature even smaller two-foot surf with low rip current risk and mostly sunny to partly sunny conditions with scattered showers.

The Southeast beaches around Arroyo and Guayama also see low rip current risk with three to four foot surf and partly sunny skies with scattered showers today and Monday.

Out to the islands, Culebra experiences the high rip current risk with six-foot surf and stronger winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour from the southeast today, shifting to east Monday. Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible.

Vieques sits at moderate rip current risk with four-foot surf. Southeast winds of ten to fifteen miles per hour today shift to around ten knots Monday. Showers remain scattered to numerous with isolated thunderstorms possible.

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John show moderate rip current risk with five-foot surf and mostly sunny to mostly cloudy skies. Southeast winds of ten to fifteen miles per hour today increase to around fifteen knots Monday with numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms developing.

Finally, St. Croix also carries moderate rip current risk with four to five foot surf. Partly sunny to mostly cloudy conditions with scattered showers dominate, and east winds around fifteen miles per hour are expected Monday.

Looking ahead to Tuesday through Thursday, rip current risks diminish but showers and isolated thunderstorms persist across the region. Surf heights gradually decrease to four to five feet over the next few days.

Bottom line: Be cautious in the water, especially in northern and northeastern areas where high rip current risk is in effect. Scattered to numerous showers and occasional thunderstorms are expected throughout the forecast period. Check current conditions before heading out and always swim near lifeguard stations when available.
