Indicators is one of Rincon's heaviest waves, producing very hollow, fast right-handers that barrel over shallow coral reef. Named for the large exposed rock in the center of the lineup that "indicates" when larger sets are approaching, this break demands tube-riding ability and advanced wave knowledge. When the NW swell lines up, Indicators delivers some of the best barrels in Puerto Rico. ESE trade winds blow clean offshore.
