The Windsurfing

Besides Hawaii, Barbados is one of the best wave windsurfing spots in the world. The chances of wind are high and the waves are perfect for jumping and waveriding. Enjoy the side-shore winds in dream conditions on the South Coast, on this most easterly situated Caribbean island.

The best time to go is the period of time when the cooling trade winds blow with high consistency over the island’s shores, namely from mid November to the end of June. But that does not mean the rest of the year couldn’t be as good as, or even better.  During the hurricane season, which starts 1st June all the way through to November, all sorts of conditions are possible.

Mostly used sails are 5.0 – 5.5 m followed by a sail size around 4.7 m and sometimes as small as 4.0m!
