Sosua

Best Surf Season (November - March)

The North Atlantic storm machine begins to roar during November, and Sosua's north-facing coastline feels it immediately. Average swell heights climb back to around 5ft (1.5m), periods firm up into the 9.3-9.4s range, and a healthy percentage of N/NNE/NNW energy mixes into the normally ENE-dominant trade swell. When cold fronts and low-pressure systems spin up off the U.S. East Coast, long-period N/NNE swell drives straight into the beach, delivering powerful 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves under light S/SW offshore winds. A negative NAO phase can plant the storm track further south and add even more direct north pulses. Water temperatures hold warm at 26-27C, so a spring suit and a dawn check are all you need.
