Puntas is a reef/point break on Rincon's NNW-facing shoreline that produces quality waves when NW winter swells wrap into the area. The reef bottom creates defined peaks with both lefts and rights, rewarding intermediate surfers who can read the shifting takeoff zones. ESE trade winds provide consistent offshore grooming.
