Duppies is a world-class surf spot located on the northern tip of Barbados. Known for its powerful, fast-breaking waves, Duppies is a favorite among experienced surfers seeking a challenge. The spot gets its name from the local term for spirits or ghosts, and surfing here can feel otherworldly due to the dramatic coastal scenery. Best visited during the winter months when the Atlantic swells are strongest, Duppies offers long rides and a secluded experience away from the more crowded beaches.
