Currently, for the northern coast of Puerto Rico there is a warning of strong surf, ocean currents and for small boat drivers until Wednesday. This will probably last all week.
“Surges generated by Lee affected sectors of the Lesser Antilles, and continued west of the British and US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Turks and Caicos Islands, Bahamas and Bermuda for the rest of the weekend. These surge is likely to cause life-threatening wave conditions and rip currents. “Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected to begin along much of the East Coast of the United States tomorrow and intensify into next week, ” the NHC said.
