Junk's Hole

Junk’s Hole, Anguilla is a quiet, often under-the-radar surf spot on the island’s north coast. It’s known for being a beach break / reef-assisted break that can catch solid Caribbean swell when conditions line up, especially during the winter swell season.

What it’s like

• Wave type: Mostly a fast, punchy beachbreak with some reef influence depending on sand and swell direction.
• Best swell: North to north-northeast swells.
• Wind: Light offshore or calm conditions are ideal; trade winds can make it messy.
• Wave quality: Can be fun and hollow when it’s working, but conditions are often inconsistent.

Surf character

• More of a local, low-key wave than a famous destination break.
• Can be shallow and powerful, so it’s better suited to surfers comfortable with reef/fast waves.
• On the right day, it can offer clean, playful walls and occasional barrels.

Environment

• The area is usually less crowded than more well-known Caribbean surf zones.
• Scenic setting with turquoise water and exposed coastline.
• Because it’s relatively remote and conditions vary, it’s worth checking it carefully before paddling out.

Things to keep in mind

• Reef and shallow sections can make it hazardous at lower tide.
• Access and parking may be limited or informal.
• It’s smart to ask local surfers or shop owners about current conditions, best tides, and entry points.
