Apple Bay, also known locally as Capoon's Bay, is a small stretch of coast that provides surfers with a wide-open window to the NW, N, and NE. Sitting in front of the well-known Bomba Shack, the spot features a nicely shaped reef that transforms incoming swells into well-defined waves. It's recognized as the most consistent surf spot in the British Virgin Islands, managing to catch any swell that’s rolling in. The waves tend to close out when they reach about 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters), but generally, it’s a decent spot for those looking to ride some fun waves.

The surf here can range from chest-high to overhead+ (about 1.2 to over 2.5 meters), depending on the swell size. Apple Bay works best with swells coming from the NNW, N, or NNE, and it likes a bit of W in the swell to get the lefts going and create some bowls for the rights. You’ll find the bottom is primarily reef, but watch out for a few rocky spots on the inside. Wind from the southeast is preferred for optimal conditions. It can be a bit of work to paddle out, especially when the swell is sizable, so keep that in mind.

Accessing the spot is pretty easy as you can park right there. Just be aware that it can get crowded when the waves are good, so a bit of local vibe is present, though it's generally not too heavy—just be respectful. Late summer and fall are great for tropical cyclone swells, but if you're after consistency, late fall through early spring is your best bet. Surfable for all skill levels, this spot accommodates beginner, intermediate, and expert surfers alike, and you can bring a variety of boards like shortboards, funboards, longboards, fishes, or even bodyboards.
