Loblolly Bay surf guide

Loblolly Bay is a remote surf spot located on Anegada, which is quite different from the rest of the British Virgin Islands. This island is basically a massive beach, with its highest point being just 10 meters (30 feet) above sea level. The area around Loblolly Bay offers a unique experience for surfers looking for something a bit off the beaten path, but be ready for a long paddle to reach the peak.

The waves at Loblolly Bay can be enjoyable if conditions are right. The spot typically handles swell sizes up to about 3 feet (1 meter), and it can pick up different types of swells. The optimal swell direction is from the Northeast, though it can also work with swells coming from the Northwest and Southeast. The waves break over dead coral, creating both left and right waves, with the left being a long, relaxed ride and the right being more intense and hollow. For the best experience, aim for mid to high tide when the waves are usually at their best. If the wind is from the south, you'll have more favorable conditions for surfing.

Loblolly Bay is best suited for intermediate surfers due to its challenging nature and the presence of sharks and rips in the area. Make sure to keep an eye on the conditions before heading out, as the environment can be a bit tricky. Enjoy the adventure of this less-traveled surf spot!
