Tres Palmas is a world-class big wave reef break in northwest Puerto Rico.
Tres Palmas is famous for its powerful right-hand reef break, attracting experienced surfers when large winter swells arrive.

Access is relatively easy, but the lineup can get competitive when it's firing. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, with palm trees and clear blue water. Tres Palmas is not suitable for beginners due to strong currents and sharp reef hazards.
