Indicas may well be the best barrel in the Bahamas, forming stand-up tubes over a shallow, live coral reef. It's a great left up to 6ft, before turning into the area's proving grounds, holding up to double overhead. Juicy, left gem capable of holding the biggest winter swells that rear out of deep blue onto the coral platform. Needs to be headhigh to start working and really throws out some slabby tubes, but it's fickle and needs the perfect swell direction to stay open and make-able. There are also some lesser rights over a sharp and hungry reef, best for those tuned into air drops and deep barrels. Hopetown's best wave.

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.
