The New York Times about Barbados surf (don't miss the slide show) March '09: “'I’ve been going for over 20 years, and I’d put Soup Bowl as one of the top three waves in the world,' said Kelly Slater, the Tiger Woods of surfing, who recently won his ninth world championship. 'It’s got a really good curve and allows all sorts of maneuvers and airs.'”

Overview for Surfer's

In line to receive the Atlantic swells, the East Coast is home to the most consistent breaks on Barbados. Waves make the long travel over the open Atlantic only to meet the steep Continental Shelf, which jacks up the swell as it rumbles across the reefs to create world class waves that are for the more experienced surfer.

Between December and March a north swell will bring sporadic waves to the West Coast if there is a strong enough north swell to energize them. Under such conditions the resulting power-packed waves can be truly great, even though it rarely gets above 8'.

The South Coast is more consistent than the West Coast, yet rarely breaks in the summer months unless influenced by localized storm action. Bathsheba Surfing Locations Glassy, though small from June to August. The coast offers most consistent surf on the island from September to December.
