Maycocks

North West Coast, Barbados
🪸Sharp reef🦔Urchins🌀Strong rips

Maycocks is Barbados's answer to J-Bay—a long, perfectly lined-up right that peels along a coral reef on the northwest coast. When clean N-NW swells arrive in winter, the wave offers multiple barrel sections connected by racing walls. The east trade winds blow offshore here, creating groomed conditions most mornings. One of the Caribbean's true world-class waves.
