Surf Barbate

Barbate - Spain Barbate features a powerful right-hand point break over flat rocks, ideal for experienced surfers. The wave is best during low to mid tide with a falling tide, requiring a solid swell from the west or southwest. Expect clean conditions when the wind blows from the north or southeast. This spot is renowned for its pristine atmosphere, often hosting no more than five surfers at a time. The wave offers an easy drop leading into a hollow section, making it crucial to avoid falling during low tide or small swells. A 15-30 minute walk from the parking area leads to the surf zone, where you can enjoy rides of up to 50 yards on a good day. However, be cautious of potential dangers such as urchins, rips, and rocks. For optimal conditions, check nearby spots like El Palmar and Canos de Meca before heading to Barbate.
