About This Spot
Isabella Beach is located on Puerto Rico's north coast, facing northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a protected bay formation with a distinct rip current system visible in the satellite imagery, creating turquoise water channels through darker deeper areas. The beach break is backed by dense forest and residential development. Wave heights average 1.18m with moderate consistency, though the 21.1% wind reliability suggests variable conditions. The bay orientation provides some shelter from open ocean exposure. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (approximately 315°) which provide side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The visible reef structures and rip current patterns indicate intermediate-level skills are required for safe operation. Kiters should be aware of the strong water circulation, submerged rock formations, and the proximity to residential areas. Low average wind speed (8.7 knots) means this spot works best during seasonal wind swells or afternoon thermal enhancement. Most suitable for intermediate kiters familiar with reading water conditions and managing currents.
