Condado

The Beaches Thong spot in Condado is exposed to the dominant east winds typical of Puerto Rico, which come in a side-on or side-shore direction relative to the northeast-facing beach. These winds wrap around the island to provide consistent conditions of 17-23 knots from morning to evening.

Launching is done directly from the wide sandy beach, with a gradual depth that suits both beginners and advanced riders. The navigation area extends along the coast but remains protected by a coral reef about 1.6 km offshore, creating a relatively sheltered water surface from large swells.

Be cautious of rocky areas near the shore, especially at low tide. Take-off is easy on the dry sand, and the space allows for riding without too much crowding outside of weekends. Tides have little influence on the spot, but check the red flags for swimmers.
