Barbados Overview
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.
Soup Bowls |
Actually given the nickname
"Sunset Beach." That should tell you something about the
fast, powerful rights which barrel into Barbados' top
surf spot. Hollow tubes. Long walls. Anywhere from 2 to 20 feet! |
Parlors |
This place has been called
the Mother of All Walls, and is said to break up to 40!'
Expect a long paddle over deep water to thick, juicy
rights and lefts! |
High Rock |
Rights and lefts lying
between Soup Bowls and Parlors. Breaks under pretty
much the same conditions. |
