Los Tubos ("The Tubes") is one of Puerto Rico's most famous waves, a heavy reef break in Vega Baja that favors powerful barreling lefts. Described as a "mini Inside Sunset Beach," the thick deepwater peak drops in blind before the lip throws over, producing some of the best tubes on the island. A convenient paddle channel sits next to the break. The spot needs a substantial N swell to turn on properly and rewards tube-riding skills with long, hollow rides.
