Middles surf guide

Middles is one of the notable spots along Puerto Rico's north coast, located near Isabella. It's known for its challenging waves and unique setup, with a jagged rock shelf that holds coral and urchins. This spot can handle a variety of swells, making it a popular choice for more experienced surfers. The coast road runs right next to the beach, providing easy access to the lineup, which can get quite crowded at times.

The best sessions at Middles happen with a moderate NE swell, and it can also work with NW and East swells. When the conditions are right, you can expect fun reef breaks that primarily offer right-hand waves. It handles swell sizes starting from 2 ft. (about 0.6 m) and can pack a punch even when smaller, with plenty of power beyond double overhead. The winds that work best are from the South, especially during low to high tide, though onshore winds are common here.

Due to the nature of the spot, it tends to attract an expert crowd who know how to navigate its tricky sections. Always expect a lively atmosphere in the lineup, and while surfing here is an adventure, it’s essential to be aware of your surroundings and manage your skills accordingly.
