The best surfing is on the east coast at the Soup Bowl, Bathsheba, which has the most consistent break. The best time is August to November when you get perfect barrelling waves. Experienced surfers also like Duppies on the north coast, where you have a long paddle out and there is a lot of current, but the waves are really big. The south coast is good for beginners and for boogie boarding, and there is a good break at Brandons, while the west coast has some good spots with good access, often best when there are no waves on the east coast. Sandy Lane, Tropicana, Gibbs and Maycocks are all worth trying. The Barbados International Surfing Championship is held at the Soup Bowl, Bathsheba, in late November.
