About This Spot

La Pared is the most accessible surf beach near San Juan. It's a consistent beach break that turns on with NE to E swells and W winds, producing multiple peaks for beginners and intermediates. The town of Luquillo backs the beach, offering amenities and a lively atmosphere, but rip currents mean it's rarely a safe swimming beach.

Local Etiquette

Respect the local surf community and the beach's rules. Watch for flags indicating hazardous conditions.
