cuba 5stars Graveyard!!!!!???? - It makes me sad to read the report about Graveyard, because this report reduces drastically the credibility of the wannasurf site.The period from November through April, the carribean islands get 90percent of the time winds from north-east to south-east with the predominant swell from the same direction. Once in a while, a north-swell comes in. Graveyard, as you call it, must lie at cabo Maisi, at the easternmost point of Cuba, isn't it? So how you can make us believe that you surf with swells, from south-east and south, if Haiti is covering totally these directions. And the northerly directions are covered by the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamian Islands.The open sector is east-north-east, and you will me make believe that a short wind swell with the wind from the same direction makes an epic worldclass spot. On my last visit I had long road trips and found a very good road system, so what you are talking about.If your report would be true, a lot of adventeroes surfers would spent the european winter camping in this paradise, not only you.With my best regards, boas ondas!P.S.I lived 20 years in Barbados and worked as a windsurf instructor, so I have my feedback about the wind and swell from proper experience.
