Barbel Point surf guide

Barbel Point is a surf spot located near Morgan’s Bay. It’s known for its right-handed waves, which can be pretty fun when the conditions are just right. This spot typically sees action when there’s a large southwest swell and ideal wind coming from the northwest. The overall vibe here is relaxed, making it a decent place to catch some waves without too much hassle.

The waves at Barbel Point can really pack a punch, especially when they're hitting around 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) or more. The optimal swell direction is from the south, but southeast and southwest swells can also work well here. The waves break over a rocky ledge, which adds to the challenge and excitement. It's best for intermediate surfers, as the waves can get powerful and require some experience. You can surf during low, mid, and high tides, but you might want to check conditions as they can change quite a bit.

For those looking to refine their skills, Barbel Point offers enough room to practice on smaller days along the beach, making it accessible for beginners as well. Just remember, it’s a spot for those who have some experience under their belts most of the time, so make sure you’re prepared for the waves you might encounter.
