Don't know the odds, but my first trip to the BVI's was in early Jan. We went to CGB and grabbed a ball. It was too rough to even eat lunch. We didn't even know there was a beach there...all we could see was waves hitting the shore. We left and went to little harbor. Ironically, I've seen never been to CGB.

We sail for two weeks in January, this year will be year #4. The last two years we could not visit CGB at all during the trip. Three years ago we get a 4-5 day respite from the north swell. You'll need a Plan B. If you see no masts in the anchorage, that's a hint.
Cheers, RickG

Another thing you might check is the cruise ship schedule. Since the expansion of the cruise pier, and especially during the winter, vast hordes now descend on CGB. Some days there are 10K cruise passengers on Tortola, so if even 20% go to CGB, it is overrun. They generally leave by late afternoon, so you could still enjoy the evening.
