Casa del Juez

Casa del Juez is a well-known surf spot on Puerto Rico’s west coast, in the Aguadilla area. It’s a rocky point/reef break that can produce fast, powerful waves, especially when winter swells from the North Atlantic wrap into the coastline.

A few key points about the spot:

• Wave type: Reef/point-style wave with good shape on the right swell
• Best swells: North and northwest swells, often during the winter season
• Conditions: Can be hollow and powerful, with sections that favor more experienced surfers
• Wind: Offshore to light easterly trade winds usually clean it up
• Crowd level: Popular with local surfers, especially when it’s firing
• Access: Usually requires a bit of knowledge of the area; rocky entry and exit can be tricky

It’s the kind of break that can offer long, memorable rides when everything lines up, but it’s not typically considered a beginner spot because of the reef and strong wave energy.
