Misty Cliffs surf guide

Misty Cliffs is a surf spot located just down the coast from Witsands. It’s a place where you can find some waves when the other spots are flat. The vibes here can be a bit crowded during the summer when small swells keep everyone looking for something rideable. The setup consists of a mix of sandbars and rocky patches, which can sometimes produce hollow waves, though it's pretty hit or miss.

This spot works best with a southwesterly swell and handles sizes starting from around 2ft (0.6m). You can expect a mix of beach breaks that roll in from the left and the right. The wind can easily mess it up, so the best conditions usually come with a northeast wind. It can be surfed at low, mid, and high tide, but be aware that it tends to be more consistent for intermediate surfers. The unpredictable nature of the sandbars can be challenging, so you might want to keep an eye on the sea before jumping in.

Make sure to check the swell directions, as south and southeast swells can get a bit messy here. If you’re looking for a spot that isn't overly famous but can serve up some fun waves, Misty Cliffs might just fit the bill, especially when other spots are slow.
