Bermuda

Bertlemann, Larry

Cluster of 300 humid, densely populated subtropical islands and tiny islets, with a total aggregate area of just 20 square miles; located in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 900 miles due east of Charleston, South Carolina. Bermuda is a British dependency and a longtime popular resort center (home of the perennially popular Bermuda shorts), and the world's most northerly group of coral islands. 

While Bermuda is perfectly situated to receive all manner of Atlantic-generated surf, the waves are generally small and sloppy as incoming swells get filtered through barrier reefs, and the wind often blows onshore at the better breaks. 

Tuckers, also known as Windsor Beach, located to the north on the perimeter of Castle Harbor, is Bermuda's premier surf spot—a long, winding, left-breaking point that is best during winter. 

Bermuda's average annual temperature is 70 degrees; water temperatures range from the mid-60s in winter to the mid-70s in summer. Bermuda was first surfed in the mid-'60s by visiting Americans. Today, there are fewer than 50 resident surfers in Bermuda, and just one small surf shop.
