I've surfed Jamaica and the nearest spot I know is a solid 4 hours east in Buff Bay. I think the waves are seldom large enough any further to the west. Unfortunately, the only place you can rent a board is on the south-east corner of the island... write me if you need more info.

Buff Bay is a solid 4 hours east and they have some boards (local kids, no shop name) in Boston Bay, about another 45 minutes east. If you end up near Kingston, Billy Wilmot has a good selection of boards.

« Reply #7 on: April 28 2009 16:04:00 »Hey guys, I've been reading through the post and I thought I'd throw my two cents in. Believe it or not there is a spot in Mo Bay that's ridable. The center jetty right out in the middle of the bay will actually break but the key is being there on one of the three (or less probably) days of the year that it does. And if you're going in the summer, it's not gonna happen. As far as taking a half day trip from there to surf... that's not likely. Walter mentioned Buff Bay which is gonna be the closest spot with consistent surf and like he said.. 4 hours away.
