Dunes is a fun beach break located on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico near Aguadilla, where sandy dune-backed shores shape consistent and punchy waves that face toward the SSW-open Atlantic and Caribbean corridor. The spot picks up solid northwest swells during winter months, producing hollow, fast-breaking peaks that reward surfers with quick barrels and steep drops. Its unique dune geography helps shape sandbars over time, making conditions variable but often surprisingly powerful for a beach break in Puerto Rico.
