Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Bathsheba is located on the northeastern coast of Barbados, facing northeast toward the Atlantic Ocean. This is an open ocean beach break with consistent wave exposure and Atlantic swell. The spot features a developed coastline with residential areas interspersed with natural vegetation, creating a narrow beach access zone. The water is deep beyond the immediate break zone, with visible rocky areas and reef features along the shore that require careful navigation. Best conditions occur with southeast to south winds that create side-shore conditions parallel to the northeast-facing coast. The moderate wind reliability (36.7%) and average wave height of 1.13m indicate variable conditions requiring patience. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with Atlantic swell dynamics and rocky/reef navigation. The strong visible wave action suggests powerful shore breaks; entry and exit points should be carefully assessed. Water temperature averaging 27.7°C is warm year-round. Access may be challenging due to residential development and rocky terrain. The exposed northeast orientation means consistent but variable Atlantic weather.
