Long Bay - Jamaica surf guide

Long Bay is a surf spot located in Jamaica that attracts surfers looking for fun and consistent waves. It’s known for its beautiful beach setting and offers a relaxed vibe, making it a popular choice for both locals and visitors. The spot is generally more consistent than some other nearby locations, like Boston, providing surfers with decent conditions throughout the year.

The surf at Long Bay really starts to pick up with NorthEast windswell, especially during the winter months. This spot can create a decent left off a coral bulkhead when the swell is right. During the summer, SouthEast swells bring in rights, though they often don’t have the same quality as the winter waves. Long Bay can handle swell sizes around 2ft to 4ft (approximately 0.6m to 1.2m). The waves break over a sandy bottom, which is friendly for beginners. Surfers can enjoy both left and right waves, and the best time to surf here is when the wind is coming from the SouthWest. You can catch good waves during low, mid, or high tide, offering a range of conditions for different skill levels.

This spot is a great choice for beginners looking to improve their skills in a laid-back environment. With the ability to handle different swell sizes and directions, it provides a variety of conditions. Whether you’re just starting out or want to work on your technique, Long Bay serves up fun, easy waves that cater to surfers of all abilities.
