Located along the northern coast of Puerto Rico near the historic capital city, San Juan offers reef-driven waves that light up during the North Atlantic swell season from November through March. The NNW-facing exposure at these coordinates positions the break perfectly to receive groundswells generated by winter storms tracking across the North Atlantic, producing punchy, fast-breaking waves with good shape. This spot blends an urban surf culture with surprisingly quality surf, making it a convenient session for both locals and traveling surfers exploring Puerto Rico's vibrant north shore.
