Seasonal· North Andros· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
Winter cold fronts on the Andros east coast
25° 10.6′ N · 78° 1.6′ W · approximate
Winter northers sweep straight into the north-facing Morgan's Bluff cove and the bights, so the rhythm of an Andros cruise is set by where you hide when the wind goes north.
Practical
Shelter options: the Morgan's Bluff harbour wall, Staniard Creek (protected from all points), Fresh Creek's marina or public dock, Long Cay (Fresh Creek), Lisbon Creek, and the Driggs Hill basin. South Bight is exposed to northern swell. Ahead of each front the wind clocks S, then W, then N: move before the shift.
