Unfortunately I don't have good news for you. If the forcast is for 25-30MPH sustained winds, then you will probably see gusts much higher (could be as high as 40 or more). That would make the trip around the bottom VERY unpleasant. Nasty once you leave English. Not my idea of fun, even though its a short trip.

The later forcast of 18-23 isn't ideal, but not terrible. Fairly unpleasant around the bottom but definately doable. I suggest you not only look at the wave height, but the interval. 8-10ft at a 10 second interval is not bad. 8-10ft at a 5 second interval is a seasickness recipe.


Green Island and Nosuch are awesome places (especially if you kite board), but don't miss the top of Antigua. The area up near North Sound and Great Bird Island are quite nice and really secluded. Even in big winds its usually flat and calm as its protected by reef.
