Ste Barbe
Edit SpotAbout
Good spot, even works on smaller days. Easy paddle out, can be messy sometimes.
Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is good, most locals are ok but lots don't understand what dropping in is. Wave right is in the hands of the locals.
Additional Info:
This spot mights work when the tide is too high at Port Blanc and Port Rhu. Regular wave, the good swell comes from W and SW. The NE wind is better for the northern beach and the SE wind for the southern beach. Attention: this beach can be closed on Wednesday, Tuesday and Friday (because of the Army training). This beach is very hard to surf when waves are higher than 1,3 m. Some localism but it's cool. No real beach live there, just surf. Lot's of swimmers in the water during summer, so be careful.
