La Pared ("The Wall") in Luquillo is Puerto Rico's most accessible northeast coast break, a sandy beach break that serves as a learning wave most days but transforms into a powerful, hollow shore break a few times per year during north swell events. Located just a block from Luquillo's town square, it's popular with locals and visiting surfers alike. Fall hurricane swells from the N/NE can produce exceptionally powerful conditions that belie the spot's usually mellow character.
