Jobos Guide

Jobos is one of PR's best-known breaks and is the de facto Surf Pueblo for the North Coast. The main wave breaks right next to a small rock headland at the east end of the beach and pinwheels into a broad, sandy bay. It actually looks like a pointbreak because it's so down-the-line and racy, but like almost every other wave in Puerto Rico, it's really a reefbreak. Locals take off as close to the rock as possible, making it difficult for others to actually get a wave. Jobos also happens to be one of PR's most consistently rideable waves, as it picks up all manner of N swell and is somewhat protected from the incessant trade winds by the rock headland. There's also a left that breaks in the middle of the beach and assorted other scattered, mediocre peaks as you head west down the beach.
