Hey there Surfers and Beachgoers!

Are you ready to catch some waves and soak up the sun? Well, here's the scoop on the surf forecast for the Mariana Islands brought to you by the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.

Starting off with the current conditions, we have a moderate risk of rip currents along the east-facing reefs for the next few days, but no worries, the risk is low for all other reefs.

Tonight through Thursday night, expect surf heights of 2 to 4 feet on north-facing reefs, 5 to 7 feet on east-facing reefs, 1 to 3 feet on south-facing reefs, and 1 to 3 feet on west-facing reefs. The primary swell is coming from the east at 3 to 5 feet with a period of 8 seconds. The water temperature is around 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and the coastal winds are blowing from the east at 10 to 15 miles per hour.

Looking ahead, surf is expected to subside by 1 to 2 feet along the east-facing reefs on Friday.

For tide information, make sure to check the highs and lows at various locations like Apra Harbor in Guam, Rota Island, Tinian Island, and Tanapag Harbor in Saipan.

Remember, when it comes to rip currents, always prioritize safety. A low risk means strong currents can still occur near jetties and reef channels, so keep a flotation device handy. For a moderate risk, be aware that wave conditions could support stronger or more frequent rip currents. And in the case of a high risk, especially with large waves, swim parallel to the beach if caught in a rip current.
