Bridges
Edit SpotAbout
Of all the spots I saw in PR, this spot peeled the best. Other surf spots were more sectiony whereas this wave peeled in the same spot almost every time.
Additional Info:
We parked are car right in front of Bridges, there is a road that runs right in front of it. This is a beautiful peeling right that is not as hard breaking like Maria's. Maria's in the rincon area was a few feet over head and thumping, went to Bridges and it was peeling waist to chest high and perfect. There were 6 locals out, surfers and boogie boarders and I was the only American out although I had a few friends on the beach. Looks like it might have a local vibe as I got a few dirty looks but that was it. The swell needs to be pretty big as this wave is in a more protected bay area. Good spot when everywhere else gets big.
Location
Loading...Access
From San Juan get on route 2 and head towards rincon. Before rincon is an area called aquada. There is a lookout spot on route 2 that is up fairly high and overlooks the ocean. Down below and just to the right is Bridges. You will see a point sticking out and rights peeling off the point. Although this area looks like the surf spot most surfers sit inside the point somewhat as I believe it is too shallow to surf out off the point. Nice beautiful peeling wave. Keep heading down route 2 a little ways and find your way down to Bridges. I don't know the road but it is easy to find once you see the lookout spot.
