More about Caracol surfspot
In December 2006, a mixed group of surfers led by John Callahan explored the North Coast around Cap Haitien. Caracol has multiple lefts and rights over coral on both sides of a number of reef passes, but access is via a taxi boat and it is inconsistent. The waves are tide and wind sensitive and favour longer period NE swells spinning off the eastern seaboard of the USA between November and March.
Boat access only.
Cap Haitien (often referred to as Le Cap or Au Cap) is the main city of northern Haiti with a population of 200,000 and an impressive collection of colourful French colonial architecture. It is a busy port, but the Caracol reefs provide tropical Caribbean clear water potential close to the shipping lanes.
