Famous east coast right, full of power and intensity. Vertical drops, thick bowls and big shut down sections that even work in the regular onshore trade-winds. Kelly Slater puts Soup Bowl in his ?top 3 waves in the world? thanks to it's ?really good curve that allows all sorts of maneuvers and airs?. Some days you do need to be Slater to get a set off the dialed-in local crew, but there's rarely a flat day and more waves in the Bathsheba area to choose from. Another unavoidable constant is the army of urchins on the inside along with the omnipresent NE-E trade-winds.

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.
