What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high surf advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS JSJ wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high surf advisory went out at Feb 20, 7:21 PM CST, 7 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 7:21 PM CST, 7 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Juan PR
921 PM AST Tue Feb 20 2018

.UPDATE...A few showers were observed today across the northern
and eastern sections of PR and also the USVI, leaving generally
less than a tenth of an inch of rain. Scattered to locally
numerous showers are expected tonight across the northern and
eastern sections of PR, the northern USVI and the Atlantic waters.
The wind is expected to remain moderate and gusty tonight,
becoming stronger on Wednesday with winds at 15 to 20 mph with
gusts reaching 30 mph or more at times. The strong winds will
continue through the day on Wednesday. Available moisture will
also increase on Wednesday, which should cause an increase in
shower activity, although the accumulations may depend on how long
the showers persist over the area because they are expected to
move quickly with the strong winds.

&&

.AVIATION...Prevailing VFR conditions expected for the next 24
hours with a few brief moments where MVFR could be observed due
to SHRA passing through the local area, which could affect the
terminals at times, especially TJSJ, TJBQ, and TIST. Winds will be
from the ENE at around 15KT and gusty overnight, increasing to up
to 20KT and gusty to 30KT after 21/14Z.

&&

.MARINE...Seas are surf zone conditions are hazardous and the
appropriate advisories are in effect. Small craft advisory across
most of the local waters in effect until Saturday and a high risk
of rip currents across many of the local beaches until at least
Thursday. All of the guidance and observations suggests that seas
will increase even more on Wednesday due to the stronger winds,
increasing as much as 12 feet across the Atlantic waters and up to
10 feet across much of the remaining waters.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 457 PM AST Tue Feb 20 2018/

SYNOPSIS...High pressure in the western Atlantic will move
southwest while weakening during the week. This will produce fresh
to strong winds that will slowly decrease after mid week. Areas of
moisture will move through bringing episodes of showers to the
smaller islands and windward sides of Puerto Rico. Little change
is expected in the weather pattern for the next 5 to 7 days.

SHORT TERM...Very dry and pleasant weather conditions prevailed
across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands today. Very little
shower activity was experienced across the region. Local area
remains under the influence of a high pressure system which
continue to produce fresh to strong winds across the region. This
weather pattern will continue through tonight. An old frontal
boundary will move across the region Wednesday, increasing the
cloudiness and chances for showers across the local islands. Very
dry air mass will encompass the region Thursday.

LONG TERM...Friday through Wednesday...(no changes from previous
discussion)Fading high pressure in the western Atlantic will
continue to drive moderate to fresh east northeast trade winds
across the area. Patches of moisture will form in the low level
flow and become progressively wetter with strong fluctuations in
moisture through the period generating increasing showers that
will remain brief and shallow but become more frequent and affect
more of the island of Puerto Rico during the period. An upper
level jet around a high building over the western tropical
Atlantic will grow over the area and translate to the northwest
maintaining subsidence at mid and upper levels through the period.
Friday should be the coolest day of the period with the GFS
1000-850 mb thicknesses increasing afterward. Otherwise little
change in the overall pattern will be noted.

AVIATION...VFR conds are expected to prevail through the forecast
cycle with brief -SHRA/SHRA at the Leeward and USVI terminals as
well as JSJ/JBQ aft 21/10z. ENE winds 15-20 knots with higher gusts,
becoming at around 10-12 knots overnight.

MARINE...Local buoy are indicating hazardous seas up to 7 feet
in the nearshore waters of northern Puerto Rico, and up to 10
feet in the Atlantic offshore waters. Elsewhere except the coastal
waters SW of PR where seas will be up to 5 feet. Seas will
increase tomorrow as winds increase even more. There is a high
risk of rip currents across most of the local beaches of PR and
the USVI, except for western PR.
