Playa del Dorado

Playa del Dorado is an NNE-facing beach break in Dorado, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from WNW and NW to E, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 36% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSW: light winds or SSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNE onshores chop it up.
