These Long Period Swells Will Result In Very Large Breaking Waves Between 12 And 15 Feet...Locally Higher Along Exposed Reefs And Shoals. As A Result...Rough And Hazardous Surf Conditions Are Expected Along The Northwest To North Facing Coastlines Of Puerto Rico...Culebra...Vieques And The Northern U.S. Virgin Islands From Saturday Morning And Continuing Through At Least Tuesday Afternoon.

We just returned home early last night after a one week stay- the surf was definitely choppy on some days and only mildly calmer on others. We attempted to charter a boat earlier in the week but once we got to Leinster Bay we turned back around.

I hate it when that happens..... especially when I'm on island.

It's been a long long time sence I have been on a board.ill be in St Johns in late Nov.are there places to surf and places to rent boards?

We'll be there on the 5:00 ferry this Tue. Hopefully she calms down a bit!!

This predictive site will give you a fairly accurate picture of when and why the swell is occurring and the display runs a week out.
