Yacht Harbour surf guide

Yacht Harbour is located on the island of Virgin Gorda, known for its stunning boulders and mountainous terrain. This surf spot is situated near Spanish Town and tends to attract surfers looking for a challenge. While it may not be the most reliable place for consistent waves, it can be worth a visit, particularly during certain swell conditions.

The surf at Yacht Harbour works best on a large Northwest swell, which produces a tubular A-frame setup. Surfers can enjoy longer rides, especially on the right. The spot can handle swell sizes around 3 feet (approximately 0.9 meters) and is suitable primarily for expert surfers, given the shallow reef and the nature of the waves. The waves break over dead coral, so be cautious. Ideal wind direction is from the east, and the best tide heights are mid to high, making those conditions more favorable for catching waves.

It’s important to note that the consistency here is low. You might find yourself waiting for a decent swell, and the environment around the spot includes fire coral, urchins, and significant boat traffic that can make the paddle out a bit tricky. If you're interested in exploring other surf options, the surrounding islands have potential, but they're generally more unpredictable and don't always deliver good surf like Yacht Harbour on its best days.
