Rife surf guide

Rife is a surf spot that tends to be a bit under the radar. It’s located inside a protected bay, which gives some shelter from the open ocean. The area is often less crowded compared to other spots, so it's a decent option if you’re looking for a more relaxed vibe. However, don't expect it to be the best place around, as some surfers tend to overlook it in favor of better locations nearby.

The waves at Rife can be decent for intermediate surfers. The optimal swell direction is from the southwest, which makes for some enjoyable rides on good days. Swells usually handle sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and break over an uneven reef. You can catch both left and right-breaking waves, so there’s a bit of variety. It tends to work best during low, mid, and high tide, with a preferable wind coming from the east.

While the surf might not blow you away, it’s also a nice spot to experiment with kiting, especially since the bay’s waters are usually pretty smooth. So, if you’re just looking to have a chill day on the water, Rife can be an option to consider, especially if you don’t mind putting in a bit of effort to find those waves.
