Playa de las Tres Palmitas

Playa de las Tres Palmitas is an N-facing beach break in Torrecilla Baja, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from E and WNW and NW to ENE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 36% 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.
