Surf spot guide · Northeast Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico
Aviones is a popular reef break with consistent, punchy waves near San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Aviones is one of Puerto Rico's most consistent and accessible surf spots, located just east of San Juan. The reef produces fast, punchy lefts and rights that attract a mix of local rippers and visiting surfers. Waves work best with north to northeast swells and can get hollow on good days. The lineup gets crowded, especially on weekends and during winter swells. Hazards include shallow reef, sea urchins, and strong currents, so intermediate to advanced skills are recommended. Facilities are minimal, but the spot is easily accessible from the main road.
