Playa Brava

Playa Brava is an N-facing beach break in Culebra, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from ENE to E and ESE and WNW to ENE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 38% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the S: light winds or S breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while N onshores chop it up.
