Surfers Beach at the former Ramey Air Force Base in Aguadilla is part of the Caribbean's first World Surfing Reserve (Punta Borinquen). The reef produces consistent rights with shorter lefts, handling a wide range of swell sizes from NW through NE. Average wave height in season is 6-8 feet, with extended right-hand rides being the main draw. Gets crowded on weekends but offers quality waves for all levels. Minutes from BQN airport.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
