Punta tiano on sandys beach, fun beach break out front, good food nearby, and the good reefbreaks are a 2 minute drive. Real mellow, safe, good location and inexpensive |

@wd321, that's what i'm seeing. Was hoping some more people "in the know" could comment... I've never been down while there was a classic cold front swell, been to domes...but it was flat haha

I don't know much about Rincon. I never really had a reason to drive there. It looks to be pretty good Tuesday-Friday with Wednesday being the biggest at maybe double over head. I'm not sure if the swell is gonna be big enough for downtown aguadilla to break. When its on, downtown is the spot to be with two perfect right sand/reef point-breakish waves: Bridges and Schoolyards. Bigger waves will be found in the Wilderness area through Surfers beach, but you gotta worry about the trade winds there. Wishing well is to the south of Wilderness, and is usually a little smaller but is punchy compared Wildos. I like surfing jobos if its a north-east swell and if the crowd is minimal- sometimes it happens but don't get your hopes up. Middles is good on north swells and is a pretty powerful wave when it has some size. But I think this is going to be a NW-NNW swell, so Jobos and Middles probably won't be that good. The wind picks up the as the day progresses, so get on it early. I think Rincon stays cleaner than the Isabela area though. The main issue you will encounter are crowds.

Skip rincon, give elvis a call
http://www.vrbo.com/119637
stayed at his place 7x now, 2 min from BQN, Wildo, surfers, and jobos. Has wifi, gas grill and large patio to chill at night, and in a quiet neighborhood right behind rodsalindas. do not stay at the hostile hostel at table rock in aguada, looks like a good set up but no bueno |

I stay here- https://www.flipkey.com/aguadilla-vacation-rentals/p323557/
Pool, rancho w/ hammock, grill, private, a couple blocks to the airport (Ramey)- close to all the breaks. (ten minutes to Middles and ten minutes to Gas Chambers. 20 minutes to Tres Palma's w/ good traffic. The host that you meet may be able to show you the breaks (Sorry, bad w/ remembering names). Have fun. Looks like possibly NE winds w/ good sized swell. |

Guys thanks for the replies... going to check those places out!
Do you guys in-the-know think those winds next week are going to mess with jobos to wildo? Looks like pretty strong out of NE/ENE... I was thinking about trying to stay further down toward tres palmas, seems to be offshore there.

The swell will be too west at first for Jobos and middles, maybe the swell will come from a more northerly direction as it starts to fade though. The rock at Jobos does a pretty good job at blocking the wind for the most part. Wildos will probably be clean in the mornings and windy in the afternoons. A lot of times if Middles is blown out mid day Wildos will still be clean for a little while longer because it faces more west. Wind forecasts are super hard to predict, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the current forecast, but for the most part there are calm winds in the morning and then ENE-NE trade winds in the afternoon. Sometimes a rain shower will lighten the wind.

Guys thanks for all the info, what a great resource! I do feel bad calling tom lurker, i see his place is outside of rincon and I'm really trying to make the stay there happen. That area should be fun, and i've already done the jobos/surfers beach/wildo thing, looking for a different experience this time (plus those waves will be happening i think!)
Tip, you seem to be really in the know in Rincon, and recommendations for Rincon accommodations?
So far it's just me an one other guy, preferring to save money and not do a resorty thing, but would like to be in an ok location, and pretty set on rincon.

This time of year you won't have any problems finding as place in Rincon, stayed last year at Pools Beach Cabanas, Nice roomy place just steps from the beach, also has a pool & Sushi Bar. Dennis Rich is the owner, great guy and good surfer!!

Villa Palma in the Sandy's area, can get a good deal because it is early in the season, The Lazy Parrot is OK but a bit pricey. VBRO the rincon area is a good choice as well. |

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all your input, you've made it a lot easier for me here and trips to pr in the future.
In the middle of booking on VRBO, found a sick spot up in the hill above marias, 5 minutes from domes, we're stoked. Trying to figure out rental car right now, the only thing that concerns me is the timing of our flights (at airport before 4am both ways), or i would just walk around when i get there. Hoping we'll be able to grab a car at those wild times. Going to call charlies I think.
Swell forecast went down a bit, 6ft or so at 12s.... I'm thinking we'll still have fun

The guys that fly in on the middle of the night flight can be found napping in their rental cars at Surfer'Beach. Looks like a great swell. Hoping for the same during Thanksgiving week. ------------------------- |

6 ft @ 12 sec will be decent size down there for sure. Just south of Maria's is a "boat ramp" if you want to call it that. Just outside the jetty is a right hand point break style wave that only breaks when Rincon gets big. It'll be smaller than everywhere else, but crazy fun! Check it out! ------------------------- We're all here, cause we're not all there!! |

I believe you are speaking of Little Malibu? Yes, can be really hollow and super fun when there is size. Don't fall! Keep your feet up and hold up your leash - very shallow elkhorn and fire coral. Sick rides and super fun. Seen plenty of cuts there. |

That's the place.. Definately correct about the shallow coral. Fall flat or bail off the back. ------------------------- We're all here, cause we're not all there!! |

yeah I have heard of that spot... I'll have to scope it out!
And for closure, I'll have a report when I get back!

That's the place.. Definately correct about the shallow coral. Fall flat or bail off the back. If I were you I wouldn't fall at all. Bottom turn around coral heads. The deeper you take off, the more shallow and more hollow it is. I've pulled out of waves (laying on the board immediately) and fins stuck on coral heads. |

its actually safer when its bigger as it breaks outside all the nasty coralheads it is a sick double up and dont cut back hahah |

Not a big enough swell for it to break.

its got more to do with direction of swell and period than height of swell , |
