La Ocho ("Stop 8" on the old San Juan bus line) breaks at Escambron Beach, just east of Old San Juan. The reef produces a long, consistent right-hander that longboarders especially love — wedgy peaks with good speed that lengthen as the tide pushes up over the rocks. Very consistent November through May, making it one of the most reliable waves in the San Juan metro area. Walking distance from the cruise ship piers.
