Arecibo

Arecibo is located on the north shore of Puerto Rico, where the Atlantic Ocean brings consistent northeast swells during the winter months. The area features a sandy beach and a limestone reef, with a NOAA buoy and tide gauge situated just offshore to monitor conditions.

The location is suitable for surfing, particularly from November to March when the northeast Atlantic swell is at its peak, ranging from 3 to 7 feet, and trade winds blow at 15 to 22 knots. The tide gauge also provides a reference point year-round.
