Down the road from Gregory Town's pineapple farm and small tourism hub, lies the 3km (2mi) long Surfer's Beach. The long lefts that drew heaps of surfers to the area in the ?70s will take any swell and some steep rights appear once in a while. It's a fast wave with an intense inside section breaking over a sand bottom.

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.
