Domes
Domes is Rincón's most photogenic wave—a super-pitchy right that throws over shallow reef right next to the decommissioned nuclear facility dome. When winter swells light up Puerto Rico's west coast, Domes delivers hollow barrels that have graced countless magazine covers. On smaller days, it mellows into a fun intermediate wave.
