St. John Virgin Island

Anyone surf at this island? I will be going in Sept and wanted to know some cool spots to visit.

Thanks

Steve

There was no evidence of surf or surfing when I was on St. John. It’s bordered on all sides (varying distances) by other islands and really doesn’t get any waves to speak of. Puerto Rico, which isn’t far, has much better surf (which I’m sure you know). There are no surf shops or anywhere to get equipment or supplies on St. John.

That said, St. John is a beautiful place and a wonderful place to take a non-surf vacation.

There is a fickle reef break off St Johns but in reality if you want to surf down that way you need to hop over to Tortola, try Apple Bay, or if the swell is up, Cane Garden Bay.

PS You can also usually find something to ride at Bomba Shack on a full moon!

Stop by Knotheads Restaurant in Cruz Bay and see Scott. Mabey he will show you where the surf is.
