Cibuco is a rivermouth break on the north coast of Puerto Rico, located where the Río Cibuco meets the Atlantic Ocean near Vega Baja. The spot picks up north and northwest groundswells generated by winter Atlantic storms, producing fun, punchy waves that can barrel nicely when the sandbars align after river outflow shapes the bottom. Its off-the-beaten-path feel keeps crowds minimal, making it a rewarding find for surfers willing to explore beyond Puerto Rico's more famous northern breaks.
