Not surfed a lot as only hurricane swell is when it gets really fun. If surfing in summer, better be able to dodge LOTS of people.
The beach is very timid normally. But bermuda has many storms. About a week before it gets to the island the waves will rise dramaticlly.
Atmosphere
Can be pretty crowned in the peak of the day tourists and swimmers mostly. Almost empty early morning or late afternoon.

Bertha swell? - Was there any good surf from Big-Bertha? She seemed like she was on a good track with offshore wind before she hit!

Swell was good - Yes horseshoe was fun during Bertha swell. Clean conditions with waves running about head high with sets in the overhead range. Was also fun during the Ike swell which passed us to our distant south last week.
