A powerful, exposed reef break at Rincón on Puerto Rico's west coast. Tres Palmas is inconsistent but becomes a serious wave on west-northwest swells, with east offshore winds and a relatively open exposure to cross-shore breezes. It gets busy when working, and the documented hazards are urchins and rocks.
