Playa Las Palmas

Playa Las Palmas is an SSE-facing beach break in Arroyo, Puerto Rico. It picks up swell from ENE to E and ESE to SE and SE to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 32% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
