Margara is a south-facing beach break located along Puerto Rico's west-central coast, tucked near the municipality of Mayagüez. The spot comes alive during summer months when south and south-southwest swells generated by Atlantic and Caribbean storm systems push consistent, punchy waves into the shore. Its relatively uncrowded lineup and fun, workable peaks make it a rewarding find for surfers looking to escape the more trafficked breaks on the island.
