Barbarons is located just south of the Le Meridien resort and offers a less crowded surf spot that's not publicly accessible. It's known for its shallow, ledgy lefts, which can provide some fun waves when the conditions are right. The surrounding area also features a few rare and well-sheltered reef breaks further down the coast, but they're not as commonly surfed.
The best surf at Barbarons happens with a southwest swell coming in at about 2ft (0.6 meters). It's ideal for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some left-hand waves breaking over live coral. When the wind is coming from the northeast, you'll find the conditions are more favorable. It can work well at low, mid, and even high tides, so there are opportunities throughout the day depending on the swell and tide movements.
While the spot can be fun, it's not always consistent, so it's best to check the forecasts before heading out. Keep in mind that it's a bit more on the raw side compared to other breaks, which might suit some surfers looking for a bit of adventure.
