Capoons Bay in Tortola is an exposed reef break that has pretty consitent surf. Winter and spring are the favoured times of year to visit. Offshore winds blow from the southeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the north. Reef breaks provide lefts and rights. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Beware of rocks,reef,urchins,jellyfish and sharks.
