Puerto Rico Surf Spot Map
Puerto Rico is the Caribbean's version of the North Shore
of Hawaii. It is blessed with good surfing conditions all
year and can get pretty big and powerful. It also has the
Hawaiian localism to a certain extent. Surfing goes off in
a big way in Puerto Rico, and tourism is big in the area.
That said, quiet waves are still on offer if you are prepared
to look.
Northerly swells that are generated from the east coast of
America are the main source of the waves in Puerto Rico, October
to February being the main surfing season. The surf can be
anything from 2ft to 20ft, and there are waves to suit all
abilities.
Surfing in Puerto Rico has traditionally centered around
Rincon, and although the waves are good so are the locals,
and the wave is normally busy. A better bet for surf would
be Dunes or Montones, with beginners being more suited to
Punta Higuero.
