Water temperature refreshed hourly from an observed station reading.
Carolina sits in the Caribbean sweet spot — water temps hold in the upper 70s to low 80s year-round. NW groundswells charge the west coast from November through March, while trade wind swell keeps the east coast alive the rest of the year. A rash guard is all you need; use this guide to track swell windows and pick your side of the island.

Pine Grove is the east-end Isla Verde sandbar that gives San Juan a practical beginner surf option. The wave is usually soft, accessible, and close to hotels, surf schools, rentals, and the airport. It is best for foam boards and longboards on small clean days; stronger wind or north swell can add backwash, rips, and enough punch that brand-new surfers should stay with an instructor.
