Anegada is completely different from all the other British Virgin Islands in that this coral island's highest point is only 10m (30ft) above sea level, in fact the whole island looks just like a giant beach. The surrounding reef is a popular diving area and wide exposure to the wind probably makes it better for sailboarding. Another option on the island is Loblolly, which is usually onshore since it faces east, but it picks up a maximum of swell. This spot is very remote and it's a long paddle to the peak. On a windless day, there will be a long, relaxed left and a much more intense and hollow right.
Take care - sharks, rips and sharp coral abound.

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.
