Maycocks (Saint Lucy)

Long right-hand reef break on an exposed northwest-facing beach/reef. The wave starts far up the reef and peels fast, then transitions into a slower takeoff section as it wraps along the line; barrel sections can appear on larger swells.

Wave Direction

Right

Optimal Swell

N, NNW

Swell Height

1–3 m

Optimal Tide

Low, Mid — Works on low to mid depending on swell and reef depth; avoid dead low tide due to very shallow, sharp reef.

Shelter

Exposed — Exposed northwest coast; generally open to Atlantic swell and wind.

Wind Effect

East and South-East winds are offshore here, grooming the wave faces and keeping them clean.

Bigger Swell

Holds size well on larger swells; can offer long rights and occasional barrel sections depending on swell size, direction, and tide.

Wave Quality

Excellent — Long, lined-up right walls are described as high quality on the right north-swell + offshore trade-wind setup.

Wave Power

Powerful — Can range from moderate to powerful; on big/working swells it can become a very long right with more size.

Wave Shape

Peeling — Long peeling walls; barrel sections are possible on bigger swells.

Peel Speed

Fast — Peels fast early, then slows into takeoff sections.

Ride Length

Long — Good day length can be long (about 150–300m).

Typical Ride Length

150–300 m

Ride Length Details

Rides can exceed about 200–300m on solid North swell as the wave wraps around the point.
