Tocones is a reef break located on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico near the town of Luquillo, picking up north and northwest swells that wrap around the island's Atlantic-facing shores. The spot produces fun, punchy waves that break over a shallow reef, offering both lefts and rights depending on swell angle and tide. Its relative seclusion compared to nearby El Yunque-area beaches makes it a rewarding find for surfers willing to explore Puerto Rico's less-traveled eastern coastline.
