Arecibo

Arecibo is a surf area on Puerto Rico's north coast, where the open Atlantic sends swell from the north-northeast, typically 3–7 feet, onto breaks over sand and limestone reef. The season runs November to March, when winter swell is steadiest. Trade winds of 15–22 knots (17–25 mph) are typical, so conditions here are shaped as much by wind as by wave size. Tides are also a factor in how the breaks work.
