Surf Chatarras

Chatarras - Puerto Rico Chatarras features powerful, hollow left-hand barrels breaking over a sharp coral reef. The wave works best with a northwest swell during low to mid tide, offering exhilarating rides for experienced surfers. Access is straightforward, with parking available near the beach, and entry points located at small cracks in the reef. Often regarded as one of the Caribbean's premier surf spots, Chatarras can become ultra crowded, especially during peak conditions. The ideal time to surf is during the late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells or winter for consistent waves. Surfers should be cautious of localism and sharp urchins, as the vibe can be intense with many locals vying for waves. This spot is not recommended for beginners due to its challenging nature and the potential for aggressive crowds. Always be aware of your surroundings and respect the local surf etiquette to ensure a safe and enjoyable session.
