Cable Beach is the best spot to be, especially this time of the year. The first day of a front starts with W maybe SW and Cable Beach is not a good place to ride but it only takes 10min drive to get to OrangeHill Beach where W is side on. Second and third day is usually NW to NE and Cable Beach is the spot to be. Be careful with the tourist hanging around and the jet skies. NE of Cable Beach there is a point called GoslowBend with some nice waves (and rocks too :cry: ). At about 1 mile out there is the reef break where on a good day can produce 8-10 feet waves and at low tide the water can only be 3 feet deep !! Usually on the fourth day (if not before) the front is going to swing around to E and ESE where CableBeach becomes off shore. We usually go to a place called BlueHill, it's on the other side of the island and from Cable Beach is probably 30min drive. With high tide the water is 3 to 5 feet so make sure you don't get there at low tide !!
For wind forescast I use http://www.windfinder.com/report/nassau and http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwher...on=Last+7+Days
The wind can blow from 25+ to steady 15 so if you are not sure bring at least 2 kites !!
Best way to get around is to hire a car.

I'm sure our local instructior (AJ) will be happy to give you some more tips....

Hope to seeyou in the water...
