I am a saba grad who moved to saba from hawaii and was looking for waves. The only ridable waves break in the winter at Well's Bay when it is really big (12+ faces). It is really deep offshore there so they are very heavy. The problem is that there is that it breaks like a beach break on these big rocks that will fu$$ you up. Also you might want to look at Fort Bay when there is hurricane surf. It looked longboardable a couple of times, but unfortunately I didn't have one. To get to that spot go to the end of the road at Fort Bay, take a right and walk about 200 yds.
The best thing to do is bring enough money to travel to other islands. St.Maarten has some good spots if you happen to be lucky enough to be there when there is swell. And Puerto Rico goes off.
