Batts Rock is a popular surf spot located on the west coast, well-known among locals in Bridgetown. While the west coast generally doesn’t break often, Batts Rock stands out as a more consistent option for surfers. It tends to attract a crowd, so expect to share the waves with others when conditions are right.
The spot features a solid A-frame peak that works best with a north swell direction and can handle swell sizes around 3ft (0.9m). You're likely to find powerful and fast hollow lefts and rights coming from the reef break. The ideal wind comes from the southeast, making for clean conditions when the winds are right. It’s also worth noting that it works across low, mid, and high tides, making it versatile for different surf sessions, though it's generally suited for intermediate surfers.
Be prepared for a pretty average overall consistency rating of 4, but with a crowd level hitting 7, it can get a bit crowded out there. Make sure you time your sessions to avoid the peak crowds and enjoy the wave action at Batts Rock when the conditions align.
