Missing waves are not calm. Forecast is not an observation. Prediction is not an observation.
Current axis is UNSUPPORTED. Null current is not slack or zero. Tide is not current.
Verdict capped at Consider while calibration remains incomplete. Adverse Wait / Do Not Go / Unavailable are not weakened.
Open-coast or too-remote wave is supporting/context only and is not inner-water scoring truth.

Fishery Targets
Tarpon, bonefish, and permit are year-round. Mahi-mahi has a qualitative spring/early-summer pulse; wahoo a winter/spring pulse. Exact legal seasons are not invented.
This reflects typical biological/fishery timing, not a legal open season. Check current regulations before fishing.

Access, Safety and Regulations
Access
Public marina access. Confirm current DNER and federal Caribbean rules.
Primary hazards
Marina traffic, heat, and thunderstorms. Missing waves are not calm.
Fishery considerations
Tide is NOAA 9753216 Fajardo, at-location. Current is unsupported.
NWS point forecast.
Regulations
Size limits, seasons, and possession rules change. Verify the current official regulations before fishing.
The map marker represents the cataloged waterbody or monitoring location and may not indicate legal parking or public access. Confirm access through the official information before visiting.
Coastal conditions can vary over short distances. Predictions and remote observations are planning information, not guarantees of access or safety.
Pin is Fajardo marina and eastern-passage pelagic plus inshore flats access. This is not Vieques, not Culebra, and not San Juan Bay.
Current axis is UNSUPPORTED. Missing current is not slack or zero. Do not infer current from tide.
Missing waves are not calm. Forecast/prediction is not observation.
Customer Current Coastal Rating publishes only when CARIBBEAN_PUERTO_RICO_COASTAL_RATING_BETA_ENABLED is true. Then it is PUBLIC_BETA_CALIBRATING and capped at Consider. Default-off remains fail-closed unavailable. CARIBBEAN_PUERTO_RICO_V1 is a candidate only. PATH1 remains unauthorized. Coastal Estimated is unauthorized. Physical readings are not a calibrated empirical rating.
