Historical data

Location guide

Kimmeridge Bay, in the United Kingdom, is a unique place for surfers. The bay is known for its distinctive, flat rock ledges that extend into the sea, which also affects the surfing conditions. It offers an adventurous challenge beyond the usual sandy beach breaks most surfers are used to. However, this isn't the spot for beginners. The rocks leading into the water can be slippery and treacherous, meaning only more experienced surfers should try to tackle this spot. The surf at Kimmeridge Bay is not consistent. Surfers might experience flat spells, especially during the summer months. It's crucial to look at the surf forecast before planning to catch waves here. Optimum surfing conditions are usually during the winter months when the swells are more reliable. A solid south-west swell combined with a north-east wind often give the best surf. The waves at Kimmeridge break both left and right, but the right-hand break is the more popular and consistent one. The waves here roll in in sections, offering a variety of faces to surf, from the initial drop to a steep, challenging wall. It is crucial to note, however, that the size of the surf is significantly tide-dependent. Outgoing tides are said to offer the best surfing. When it comes to its unique features, the Broad Bench area of the bay is worth noting. Only accessible to surfers when the firing range at Lulworth is not in use, it's a heavy wave spot that carries a mystique brought about by its restricted access. In summary, Kimmeridge Bay offers a unique surfing experience with its dramatically rocky coastline and inconsistent yet rewarding waves. Its challenging conditions and occasional accessibility make it a spot often enjoyed by the more adventurous or experienced surfers.
