Cliff is a beachbreak that offers a variety of surfable conditions, particularly for those who know what they're doing. It’s a spot that sees its fair share of action, making it a go-to destination for experienced surfers. The setting is straightforward with parking available on the grassy knoll above the beach, giving you a decent view of the waves before you head down.
The waves here can get pretty intense, especially when things pick up. The beachbreak works best with a northwest swell and can handle sizes starting from about 0.6 meters (2 feet). Good waves come from the west and northeast too. You can expect both left and right breaks, with the best rides happening at low, mid, and high tide. Just keep in mind, it gets heavy and rippy when it’s big, so it’s really not for the faint-hearted, and only experts should take on those conditions.
If you’re brave enough to surf here during bigger swells, be cautious of the rapid rip on the right-hand side of the bay. Having the proper equipment is key, so packing your gun might be a smart choice when heading to Cliff. It’s consistent, but also come prepared for some serious waves that demand your full attention.
