About Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's north coast, particularly around Dorado Beach, offers consistent trade wind conditions from December through August. The bay amplifies wind speeds 2–3 knots above San Juan readings, delivering reliable 20-knot sessions on forecast 18-knot days. Chop conditions suit jump practice with manageable gust differentials. Flat-water options exist at river mouths, though water quality varies. Ocean Park provides an urban alternative with schools and amenities. Shacks at Isabela delivers wave riding. No passport needed for U.S. citizens, and the island culture welcomes visitors year-round.
