Bridges Surf Guide
A very well known wave, Bridges is right in the heart of Aguadilla in front of the government buildings. It's essentially a sand and reef-bottomed right pointbreak, super-fun, playful, and rippable, with a few different sections scattered along its 100 or so yards. It's pretty much always glassy (except with south winds) and fairly fickle, 'cause it's tucked pretty far in the bay. Oh, and it's always crowded and pretty polluted, too, as it's right downtown. But it's a great place to work on your speed carves and check out Aguadilla's best surfers during the dozen or so times a year it breaks.
