Caracol surf guide

Caracol is a surf spot located on the North Coast of Haiti, near Cap Haitien. This area features a beautiful collection of reefs with tropical, clear Caribbean waters. It can get busy due to the nearby port activity, but the scenery and the surf potential make it worth a visit. Access to Caracol requires a taxi boat since there are no direct land routes, keeping the spot a bit off the beaten path.

The surfing here is mainly on live coral with options for both lefts and rights. Caracol can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and does best with northeast swells, especially between November and March. The waves can be quite sensitive to tide and wind; they generally prefer low, mid, and high tide setups and tend to work well with a south wind. This spot is best suited for expert surfers looking for challenging conditions.

Apart from the surf, the environment around Caracol is tropical, featuring stunning coral formations and clear waters. While there may be some inconsistencies in wave quality, on a good day, it can offer a rewarding experience for those willing to put in the effort to get there.
