Santiago Surf Breaks
The VI region generally has the best waves in the region but good waves can be found all along the coastline. Winter wave heights can reach 20ft+ but summer is the best time for clean surf. The waves have power all year and there is vast potential for discovery. The area is very consistent and there are rideable waves almost every day of the year. The water temperature is typically between 14°C and 17°C so it's full winter wetsuits.
