More about Cappoons Bay/Bomba Shack surfspot
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.</br></br>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.
Beginner to advanced depending on the surf.
Park right there.
Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
Crowd Factor: Can get pretty crowded when there are waves. Local Vibe: Not heavy but present. Mind your manners.
Pretty good.
