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.
The current wave height at Surfers Beach (Puerto Rico) is 0-1ft with a 4s swell period. Wind is ENE at 15mph. Conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Surfers Beach (Puerto Rico) is 0-1ft, produced by a 1.3ft ENE wind swell swell at 4s, a 0.6ft NNE secondary swell at 10s, a 0.5ft ENE wind swell swell at 7s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.

Our Surfers Beach (Puerto Rico) forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
