The Alley is a surf spot known for its reliable waves, tucked away near the pool. It's a popular choice for intermediate surfers, especially when the tide is high. However, the wave conditions can get a bit tricky during low tide, when it tends to be dredgey and shallow. The place is usually buzzing with activity, so be prepared for some crowds, especially in the summer.
This spot works best with a southeast swell direction, but it can also handle east and south swells. When the waves roll in, they can reach sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and break over an uneven reef and some sand. Surfers can expect right-hand waves, which are pretty fun. The swells here can be quite dependable, especially for bodyboarders looking to avoid the harsher conditions found on the Island. The preferred wind direction is southwest, and you can catch decent rides at low, mid, and high tide, though it’s best for those who are at least intermediate level.
Parking can be a challenge in the summer, so plan accordingly if you're driving in. It might take some time to find a spot, but once you do, it's worth the hassle to enjoy some fun waves at The Alley.
