Rough seas can be fun too...

Best time I had swimming in Negril was when the waves were big. Don't recommend it if your are not a strong swimmer. Body surfing on the waves is a blast but you have to remember that there is a strong current that wants to pull you away from shore. After 20 mins or so I would get tired and take a break on shore. Last thing I want to do is drown in paradise.

Anytime on the beach is good rough seas or not!
