Playa de la Hierbabuena Swimming Forecast

Barbate · Spain

Playa de la Hierbabuena scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. This is a wild, 950 m Atlantic beach backed by pine forest and dunes at the edge of a protected natural park, with no lifeguard or facilities. Strong prevailing winds make it a favoured windsurfing spot, and a point/rivermouth break at the adjacent cliffs offers surf when a SW groundswell meets a NE offshore wind, though waves are generally small and best in winter. Tides range roughly 0.44-1.80 m. Nudism is not permitted.
