Seriously..we get north swells every winter..everytime a big low hits the east coast..right now its pretty flat and we are headed to CGB where there will be lots of boats..plenty of places to go to get out of the sswells..even the east end of CGB is do able with a big swell..

Swell conditions and predictions I find that their sites are often the most accurate and informative. This site has some other USVI and BVI locations available on a drop down menu and a good amount of down island info as well.Since I look down at one of the USVI locations posted I know from personal experience the forecast is fairly accurate on size and close on timing. http://www.swellinfo.com/surf-forecast/tortola <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/titanic.gif" alt="" />
