Limbe Island is a small spot located a short boat ride from the mainland of Haiti. It's part of a rapidly growing town called Bas Limbe, which serves as a launch point for surfers looking to catch some waves. The island is known for its connection to local surf culture and its recognition in travel literature, notably featuring in the cover image of the 2013 Bradt Travel Guide. This place offers a unique vibe for surfers eager to explore less-traveled waters.

The waves at Limbe Island offer a left break that can get fast and powerful. The ideal swell direction is from the Northeast, but it can also handle swells coming from the North and East. It works best with swell sizes around 1ft (approximately 0.3 meters) and can break over some live coral, so keep an eye out for that. When the conditions are right—mid to high tide and a west wind—you can expect a decent ride, but this spot is really meant for expert surfers due to its steeper sections and challenging end bowl.

Getting to Limbe Island is pretty straightforward. Just hop on a boat from the fishing village outside the main town. Make sure to time your visit with the right swell and wind conditions for the best experience. This spot can be a hidden gem for surfers looking for a bit of adventure off the beaten path.
