Expert-verified surf spot database with detailed swell/wind parameters, hazards, and travel information
Long Caye on Lighthouse Reef is Belize's remote surf adventure—a reef break in the same atoll as the famous Blue Hole. Reaching it requires a long boat ride, but the uncrowded waves and diving potential make it a unique double-threat destination.

Works best with swells from 90° (E). Workable range: 60°-120°.
Ideal size: 1.6m. Too small below 0.8m, too big (closeout) above 2.5m.
Needs at least 10s period. Ideal: 14s+ (long-period groundswell).
Offshore wind from 270° (W). Offshore range: 240°-300°. Best window: morning.
Unknown minutes drive from BZE airport. Requires boat access ($200/day).
Swell direction must be within the workable range AND within the spot's coastal orientation. A south-facing beach cannot receive north swells, no matter the size or period.
Offshore wind (blowing from land toward ocean) grooms the wave face. Onshore wind (blowing from ocean toward land) destroys wave quality. Wind tolerance varies by wave type.
