Aviones is a fun reef break located along the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico near Isla Verde, facing west and picking up north and northeast swells that wrap around the island. The spot produces punchy, hollow waves with good shape when winter groundswells push through, offering both lefts and rights depending on the swell angle. Its proximity to San Juan makes it a popular escape for local surfers seeking quality reef waves without a long drive.
