Rio Barbate surf guide

Surf: An immense wave with the correct conditions. The sandbar is set into place by the seawall creating a classic lefthand rivermouth wave. Needs a solid swell and low tide to produce long, barrelling lefts with heavy currents guarenteed. Directions: Head out of Barbate towards Zahara de los Atunes Environment: Only medium consistency so the protective locals are on it. After heavy rain pollution is cleary visible from several inland waterways and saltmarshes. South of Barbate - parking is restricted.
