Josiah's Bay Surf Guide

Josiah's Bay is a little nook in the extreme north-facing coast of Tortola. It sports a wide sand beach with A-frame peaks along its length. The waves here are slopey and often weak, but it's a great place to learn, and it does have its moments. If the sand, tide and wind all come together Josiah's does have the potential to deliver some beachbreak barrels.
