Alex,
I just returned from Culebra two days ago and the surfing was pretty decent. There is a pretty good North swell kicking, but it was pretty windy and blown out at most places. Flamenco beach was actually pretty good, tossing some small barrels, but I heard this was very unusual. The beach break couldn't hold the bigger swells that were coming in, so it was closing out pretty quick. Somebody was talking about the reefs outside at Flamenco, but it's one heck of a paddle and I don't know what the bottom is like out there. I went to Brava also, which was worth the drive/walk. When you rent a truck, make sure you rent either a jeep or a sazuki with 4 wheel drive, as there are many places you have to use it. Drive to Brava and go past the farmhouse until you see a little parking spot in the weeds on the left side. Then you have to walk for about 30 mins down the hill and through the mangrove (make sure you watch for the trail that heads off on your right). You'll come out on a beautiful beach with powerfull surf. We had at the beach to ourselves all day, which was amazing. It was pretty blown out, but I caught a couple and my brother had a boogyboard and had fun on the inside. I didn't see anywhere to rent a board, and there aren't many places to look. You can rent a boogyboard, which might be your best bet if you aren't going to bring your board (it was $80 each way to take my 6'5" on the plane). Good luck and enjoy, it's very hard not to
