Wilderness is a quality right-hand point/reef break at the bend between Puerto Rico's north and west coasts, at the end of the runways of Aguadilla's Rafael Hernandez Airport. Long right-hand rides offer both performance sections and barrel opportunities over flat rock bottom. Remote access via a bumpy road keeps crowds down, and a channel on the left side provides an easy paddle-out. SE trade winds blow offshore. Best January through April.
