Good conditions with 2.1 ft swell energy.
Also called Steps, Tres Palmas is Puerto Rico's famed big‑wave reef within the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve. When large NW swells march down from the North Atlantic, this spot produces long, powerful rights with faces that can exceed 20 feet. It's a proving ground for experienced chargers; when small it offers fun waves for advanced surfers.
Tres Palmas has a tight-knit crew. Don't paddle out unless you have the skills and proper safety gear.
Insider tips from local surfers
Sit deep to catch the larger sets, but commit—hesitation will see you caught by heavy walls. Watch the lineup from shore before paddling out.
