Edit SpotAbout
Kak spot but gets ok when big.
Atmosphere:
Ok when you get it all to yourself and the other spots around are crowded but not worth checking out unless big swell around. This is the gay beach of clifton so don't go skinny dipping!
Additional Info:
Clifton doesnt have the best waves around but might be worth checking out when theres a huge westerly swell pushing in at winter. There are a few peaks around and sometimes a small but fun shorey aswell. Its abt shelterd from wind aswell which helps it form but lacks power.Can barrel nicely both ways. Good for groms on boogs trying to better their skills.
