Surf The Bill

The Bill - Portland The Bill features powerful reef waves breaking both right and left over a boulder bottom. Located at Portland Bill, this surf spot is accessible with instant access (less than 5 minutes walk) from the parking area. Be cautious of the Portland Race tidal stream where six tidal currents converge, reaching speeds of up to 6 knots. This spot works best at high tide during rising tide conditions, with optimal swell coming from the north and wind from the southeast. The crowd is generally sparse on weekdays and weekends, making it an appealing choice for surfers seeking less congested waters. The picturesque setting near the lighthouse adds to the allure, while the unique tidal dynamics require awareness for safe surfing.
