Long Beach in Barbados is a casual surf spot that attracts a mix of surfers and bodyboarders. It faces southeast and is known for its erratic beachbreak. Access is pretty straightforward from the Foul Bay parking area, making it an easy choice for local surfers and those just visiting. The waves can sometimes throw up some decent barrels close to shore, though overall it’s a mixed bag, especially when it comes to consistency.

The best time to catch waves at Long Beach is during a clean, small to moderate southeast swell. When conditions are right, you can expect waves that handle swell sizes from 1 ft (about 0.3 meters) and can come from both the south and southeast. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, offering both left and right handers. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and if the wind is coming from the northwest, you’re likely to have better conditions. This spot is relatively friendly for beginners, so it’s a good place to learn or work on your skills.

Keep in mind that while Long Beach can produce some fun waves, it can also be a bit dumpy at times. So, check the conditions before heading out. It's a pretty laid-back spot, but always best to know what you're getting into when you paddle out.
