![]() Good waves can be found all year, it depends on the weather out to sea which creates the swells that form the best waves. – you also might be rewarded with some very fun, VERY uncrowded tropical surf. However, if you’re a surfer planning to go to Glovers for the reefs and kayaking, windsurfing, etc. If you want world-class, immaculately groomed long fetch overhead barrels – you should consider a destination such as Tavarua or the Mentawais. This is a very uncrowded break, so except for having to share with a few other guests, you can catch all the waves you want! Rides of 50 to 100 yards are possible on good days when it’s connecting. Normally they are 4 feet high.Īlso, because of the reef the wave is very consistent it’s common to have a 4-6 foot face on the initial drop. The biggest sets we ever see are 6-8 feet. The Trades blow a near constant 10-15 knots (or more), so often times surfable wave conditions also have “onshore” wind and chop It’s a rare day to have super glassy conditions – although it does happen. Swell in the winter is almost always near/moderate fetch trade-wind-driven waves. However there is little risk of being “pounded” by the wave inside because it loses most of its force in the shallow water. Because of the shallowness of the break, this wave is not recommended for first time beginners as there is the risk of falling off the board wrong and hitting the bottom. Moderate to steep on the initial drop, there can also be a slight reform where one needs to cutback to make a second section where the wave walls up again with a fun, punchy, fast, inner section. Our wave is a right hand break which starts out in 8-12 feet of water, getting progressively shallower the longer the ride, ending in about 3 feet depth. The bottom topography under this break is eroded coral rubble, with no live or sharp coral faces, creating a safe (but hard) bottom surface. The swells break and peel off to the right in long, running breaks that can go for up to a hundred yards. Our point break is almost always active at the channel entrance between Long Caye and the neighboring island, intercepting swells driven in by the trade winds. ![]() During scheduled activities, guides are on hand monitoring your progress and a buddy may not be necessary, since the guide is effectively your buddy.īelize Surf Camp at Glover’s Reef About Our Wave For example, a buddy while snorkeling is someone snorkeling with you, but a buddy while surfing can be a person on shore paying attention to your location and notifying us if you need assistance. The buddy system is different for each sport, and that’s explained during the orientation. Once you have had the orientation session, you are free to use the gear anytime you like, as long as you have a buddy. We specialize in Belize multisport trips we aren’t just a surf resort! For a complete summary of all the sea sports we offer, visit our adventure sports page.Įach sport has a mandatory orientation session where we introduce our gear to you. Packages include hotels and meals in Belize City before and after the trip, transport to and from the island, accommodations and meals on the island, soda and beer on the island, and windsurf and other sports gear and instruction. There is no way to visit our island only for the day, a 5-night package (3 nights on the island) is our minimum as our private boat charter only goes to and from the island two days a week. Our island is located far out to sea, which is one of the reasons it is such a fabulous place we experience none of the crowding found in other parts of Belize. ![]() Surfing at our island is not available without purchasing an adventure vacation.
