Kimmeridge - The Ledges is a set of long, fun, mellow reefbreaks that hold some size, with the lefts the pick of the bunch. Popular with longboarders, it also helps spread out the wider Kimmeridge crowd.
When It Works
The reef throws both lefts and rights over an uneven bottom. It draws swell from south through west, with southwest (SW) the best match, and works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 3.7 m / 12 ft. Once there's some size, keep an eye out for a few rocks and rips.
Wind and Tide
Look for north (N) offshore wind. The reef comes to life on mid and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
The waves suit intermediate surfers.
Access
Park down near the slipway and walk round the cliffs to the east. There's a car park with paid parking, along with restrooms and camping.
