Overview
Bailey's Beach is a hollow beachbreak that breaks over sand and peels off both lefts and rights. It sits on a private beach once frequented by the Kennedys, with only one end open to the public.
When It Works
The break draws swell from east through south to southwest, with southeast (SE) the best match. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 1.8 m / 6 ft, and a southeast swell at mid tide can get good up to head-high. It usually only fires on stormy easterlies, so expect it to be somewhat inconsistent through the rest of the year.
Wind and Tide
Look for north (N) offshore wind, though this beachbreak has a wide workable wind window running from northwest to east. It can break through all tides, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
The wave suits intermediate surfers. Expect a fairly quiet lineup when it's on.
Access
There's no surfing here in summer, when it hardly ever breaks. Parking is free but restricted and roadside, and the public end is a long walk away in unposted side streets.
