Calais is a surf spot located near the jetty, where you can catch some waves when the conditions are right. The area offers a mix of surf breaks that cater mainly to beginners, making it a good spot for those just starting to ride the waves. You’ll find it next to the port, which can sometimes bring in some interesting conditions with passing ferries. The vibe is pretty chill, making it an accessible place for a day of surfing.
The surf picks up nicely with strong NorthEast winds, especially around mid and high tides. The optimal swell direction is from the NorthEast, but it can also handle swells coming from the SouthWest. It works well with swell sizes starting from about 1 ft (0.3 m). The waves break over sand, and you can expect both left and right breaks, which gives you some variety to play with. It’s a great spot for beginners to practice and get comfortable in the water.
For surfers looking to keep an eye on conditions, the NDBC buoy 62304 is positioned right at the entrance of the port. It can help you gauge what’s coming your way before you hit the water. Just remember that while the surf can be fun, it's not always consistent, so check the forecasts and be ready for varying conditions.
