Lokale Tipps
With 310 windy days yearly, this is a reliable spot, though planning around tropical weather patterns is essential. Check local forecasts and tide conditions before each session, as this exposed ocean break demands respect.
Einstieg & Strand
Launch from the beach during easterly winds (E, ENE, ESE) which are most consistent. Choppy ocean conditions require caution entering the water; scout conditions before committing.
Lokale Regeln
Respect local fishing activities and boat traffic common in this region. Keep a safe distance from other water users and maintain awareness of changing conditions.
Was anziehen
A 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard is suitable for warm Caribbean waters year-round. Protect against sun exposure with rashguard during extended sessions.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
Moonhole is a technical reef break, not a resort destination. Wind runs consistent E through ESE—rare reliability in the Caribbean. But reliable doesn't mean clean. Chop stacks up, gusts funnel through island passages, and currents push harder than you'd expect. You're alert the whole session, not coasting.
Wind & Conditions
310 windy days per year. Best June through March, though sessions are possible year-round if you're flexible. Trade winds dominate (E, ENE, ESE), and that's when you'll find the steadiest riding. Island geography fractures the wind though—gusts accelerate unexpectedly. Scout before launching. Light wind days happen; check forecasts obsessively.
The Water
Shallow reef with strong currents. You're navigating obstacles, not open water. Stay aware of your position relative to shore break and reef hazards. Currents push sideways faster than expected. Visibility drops in turbulent conditions. This spot demands constant positioning discipline.
Who It's For
Intermediate minimum, likely advanced. Margin for error is thin. You need solid edge control, reliable self-rescue, and the judgment to abort when conditions feel off. Beginners will struggle with chop and current play. Experienced riders who thrive on technical challenges will find it rewarding.
Getting There
Base on Saint Vincent, arrange logistics to Moonhole. Accommodation and food are basic. Emergency services exist but aren't beachside—travel insurance matters. Fewer crowds and fewer distractions. Trade-off is real: you need higher self-sufficiency and obsessive prep. Check tide and weather before every session.
