Shacks

Shacks is a beach break located on Puerto Rico's northern coast facing north-northeast toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with an adjacent shallow lagoon system separated from deeper water by a visible sandbar formation. Residential development surrounds the area, creating a constrained environment. Waves average 1.18m with moderate swell exposure. The spot receives consistent but unreliable wind (23.9% reliability) averaging 8.9 knots. East winds (75°) provide the most reliable side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The shallow lagoon offers protection from larger ocean swells, making this suitable for beginners and those learning in calmer conditions. Water temperature averages 26.7°C year-round. Kiters should be aware of the tight development, limited space, and the sandbar's influence on water movement. The low wind reliability suggests this spot works best during seasonal wind patterns rather than year-round.
