Silver Rock Beach

Silver Rock Beach is located on Barbados's northeastern coast, facing northeast toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach break with visible reef structure in shallow waters, indicated by the turquoise coloration patterns. The coastline orientation supports reliable side-shore winds from the northwest (315°), which align with typical Atlantic trade wind patterns for the region. Water conditions are consistently rough with average waves of 1.49m and rough water type, suggesting active swell exposure. The spot suits intermediate kiters with reef awareness, as shallow areas and rock formations present navigation challenges. Best conditions occur during higher wind periods, though average wind of 11 knots with 37.4% reliability means consistent sessions require patience. The narrow sandy beach strip and residential development immediately inland limit space for launching and landing. Local knowledge of tide cycles and seasonal swell patterns is valuable. Strong currents visible in satellite imagery suggest careful positioning is necessary, particularly in deeper water beyond the reef line.
