If there is a North Swell, the pool is generally more active. If you are concerned, I would plan a day when the swell is from the East, Much more enjoyable!

Hit or miss based on the day's forecast. I've been visiting in May for years, and have seen a wide range of conditions at the Bubbly Pool during that month - from totally flat and hardly any water in the pool at all, to very active.

The turbulence generated in the Bubbly Pool is dependent on the wave height on the NE side of JVD. This site will give you a fairly good idea of the conditions that day if you can access it while you are here: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?s...;time_label=GMT6' or more would be pretty active.

Local Sailor thanks! The Bubbly pool is on my daily walk when we are on Jost. This will be a great site to turn the villa renters onto. Thanks again! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

once the swell get above a couple of meters, things can get dangerous. we have seen a 50 footer GO OVER the tops of the rocks. I have pictures... Would be interesting to the see the pictures. Can you post them?

Even when the swells are ~2m, sometimes they can double up on themselves and create a bad situation. We hear you! The utmost respect must be shown to the power of the rocks, ocean, tides, swells, etc. Always, safety first!
