Brighton - Wedge is a surf spot located near the pier, known for its short and fast waves that deliver a heavy shorebreak. It's a popular destination, especially among bodyboarders, due to its unique break that can deliver some exciting rides. The spot is easily accessible with parking available at the top of the cliff, making it convenient for surfers heading to the beach.
The ideal swell direction here is from the SouthWest, but it can also work when swells come from the East or SouthWest. It handles swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3 meters) and breaks over sand, creating waves that generally go to the right. For best results, surfers usually find low tide to be the most favorable, and having the wind from the North can improve the conditions significantly.
Brighton - Wedge can get crowded, especially when the surf is good, so be prepared to share the waves. The vibe can vary, and while it attracts a lot of bodyboarders, surfers can also find their own fun in the mix. Just keep an eye on the tide and wind to make the most of your session here.
