North Swell coming

Post by Exit Zero »

The NWS in San Juan has issued a 'hazardous weather warning' that call for 10-12' waves on the North shores by Tues morning - likely to be the largest swell event this year is what they said - boaters particularly should take notice and there will be little snorkeling available on the Atlantic side.
Time to get out the guidebooks and maps and look for those South side beaches and maybe explore some new places!

www.weathercarib.com has just posted some very informative graphs and predictions that may help as well.

Or grab the boogie boards and head for Cinnamon. I had a blast that day body surfing, although they were more like 6 footers.
