Footage uploaded to social media by photographer Nelson Acosta shows the gigantic waves sweeping out of the sea and crashing into the side of a high-rise building - ripping away the railings from concrete balconies.
The turbulent sea has also battered the southern coast of the island.
Waves up to six metres high caused a considerable amount of damage over the weekend.
