Luquillo Beach is in Luquillo, Puerto Rico, on the Atlantic coast.
Luquillo sits about thirty miles east of San Juan, a calm crescent sheltered by an offshore reef with the El Yunque rainforest rising behind it. The reef is what makes it the swimming beach people drive out for, since the surf that hits the open north coast mostly breaks before it arrives. The NOAA gauge at Luquillo supplies the tide predictions here.

Tide predictions come from NOAA station Luquillo (9753766).
Weather and marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service at San Juan, Luis Munoz Marin Intl (TJSJ).
That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Luquillo Beach loads at the top of this page.
