Brandends Surf Guide
On the south coast of Barbados, the island's prevailing onshores can be offshore. Throw in some windswell coming around the southeast corner of the island or a South Atlantic swell, and you have the makings of a fun, user-friendly surf zone. Brandon's can serve up long, rolling lefts with the occasional cover-up and sometimes even legitimate bowl sections on the inside.
