Picture-perfect Caribbean dream wave that peels alluringly into the sunset-facing bay that is usually a haunt for chartered yachts. Appearances can be deceptive as the throaty barrels at the tip of the point hit the numerous coral heads, then race down the line to the inside bowl section, before shouldering off into deep water. There are no easy ones and since it only breaks maybe 20-30 days a year, the locals are as hungry as the Gillette coral. Any NE-E wind is offshore (SE messes it up) and tide isn?t a problem, rather it's timing a NW-NE swell that is big enough to make the hairpin journey around the island to the bay. Due E swell has it's power sapped by Anegada.
Threat of wave-killing breakwall to protect ill-conceived fuel dock ongoing.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
