Surf: General: Cappoons Bay is a small stretch of coast with a wide open window to the north, northwest and northeast. In front of the famed Bomba Shack lies a perfectly A shaped reef which grooms incoming swells into ruler edged walls. It's the most consistent surf spot in these islands, so unless you're extremely lucky or ride it under a full moon, expect to share the peak with a few other takers.

The reef at Bomba Shack picks up any little bit of swell that's out there and will close out after about 8 to 10 feet of face. It likes a little west in the swell to get the left working and bowling up the rights. Tides: Any Size: Chest high-overhead+ Wind: Southeast Swell: NNW, N, NNE Bottom: Reef Paddling: Can be a good amount of work when there is a sizeable swell. Spot Rating: Really fun wave with rights and lefts on the right swells. Access: Park right there. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can get pretty crowded when there are waves. Local Vibe: Not heavy but present. Mind your manners. Environment: Pretty good. Hazards: A few rocks on the inside. Season: Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
