I remember in the early 70's a friend's Mom showed us some old Super 8 home movies of them staying in Grand Bahama and in a couple sequences there were nice groundswells peeling off. I don't remember where they stayed or if I even asked. I can't imagine West End NOT getting good, especially during times of refraction swell. Anyone know? Seen it, experienced it, seen proof? Thanks Map

no surfing waves there...snorkeling is great but forget the surfing.

I've been going to West End for 25 years for a couple weeks in July and it's been flat as a pancake every time.  There's got to be waves in Bahamas somewhere but it certainly isn't West End.

I thought the same about bermuda, although it gets waves I have yet to see it as good as I would hope

I know it's flat most of the time I mean only when there's 8-10 foot North Swells in the Gulfstream and only talking about West End. Why wouldn't the same North Swell that can be several feet overhead in PBC, at a road that rhymes with Reef not wrap around West End? I'm from South Florida but lived in the Bahamas for 3 years in the 70's and have stayed in the Bahamas traveling via mailboat several times adding up to several months over the years. I can tell you that you wouldn't believe the number of islands and breaks that have waves that otherwise just from looking at the map or even the charts you would swear couldn't possibly break due to other islands in the way and blocking the swell but do because of wrap, reflection, and refraction. Also, like I said I've seen footage from my friend's Mom from the times they would go over to Grand Bahama by boat and stay at a small hotel and there were nice groundswells peeling off.
