Middles is one of the best surfing spots in Puerto Rico, a fast, barreling right-hander over rocky reef that has hosted the Rip Curl Pro Search and Corona Pro Surf Competition. Located behind the dunes north of Isabela, the wave is powerful and demanding, producing world-class barrels on N to NW swells. The exposed north-facing reef picks up virtually any Atlantic swell, making it one of the most consistent quality waves on the island.
