Surf’s up in the winter and early spring when East Coast U.S. storms pump swells up to 8 to 10 feet high down south to the Caribbean. St. Thomas’ Atlantic Coast takes the brunt of this northern wave action and Hull Bay specifically, with its offshore reefs, creates never- ending wave breaks. The surfing here is best for experienced riders, while others can enjoy good body surfing into the beach this same time of year. Across the street, a shop rents surf, stand up paddle boards, and snorkel gear year- round and Hull Bay Hideaway serves casual food and drink.
