Barbate

Edit Spot
About

when it does break, i think it is one of the best right-hander waves of spain actually. the problem only is that you need a good size swell

Atmosphere:
its a wonderful spot, it will never have more than 5 people out, the best session I have ever had was there 6 feet, clean and perfect, the wave has an easy drop then a hollow section in wich u dont want to fall if the tide is two low, or if the swell is to small, and the tide is high. and then u have a clean wall to tair infront of u, for about 50 yards

Additional Info:
only with good swell. check el palmar and canos first. if canos de meca has good size, then it is worth to drive to barbate. If u catch it in a good day ur gonna trip over it, its and amazing wave
