Surf in Barbados for a real surfing safari adventure. Barbados has often been visited by the likes of Kelly Slater and many other well known world-class surfers and for very good reason.
Due to the natural shape of our glorious island, swells are available from all directions which means you can almost always surf somewhere on the island; if the east is flat, check west, north, or south, it's bound to be breaking somewhere.
Barbados also provides great conditions for just about every level of surfer. For the professional and experience surfers, try the Soup Bowl on Bathsheba beach in the parish of St. Joseph; where many international surfing competitions are held, namely the Reef Barbados Classic.
For those beginners and those learning to surf, the best locations are Brandon's, Freights Bay or Accra along the south coast of Barbados.
Also, if you are a body border, you'll find a spot just perfect for you at Sam Lord's beach, Crane beach, Foul Bay or Silver Rock.
Surf locations on the west coast of Barbados are Maycocks, Tropicana and Batts rock beaches. Depending on the times of year and low pressure systems, all of these locations offer up some good Barbados surf.
The waters in Barbados are crystal clear and warm all year-round. There have never been any reported incidents of shark bites anywhere on the island. Although Barbados does offer decent conditions every day of the year, the best waves can usually be found between October and March when the swells can reach up to about twelve feet.
However, Hurricane season (June to October) is often a popular time for the thrill seekers. Right before a big storm system, tropical storm or a hurricane hits, the swells are huge and you'll often see many surfers hitting the shore.
As an added attraction visit Barbados and experience great surfing conditions or learn to surf in Barbados with the many professional surfers island wide.
