1st Bank - Clifton, South Africa This surf spot features a sandbar with both right and left-breaking waves over a sandy bottom mixed with rocks. The waves can be hollow, fast, and fun, particularly during mid to high tide with a falling tide. Optimal conditions arise with swells from the west and southwest, complemented by winds from the southeast, east, or northeast. 1st Bank is located at Clifton Beach, accessible via a short 5-15 minute walk from the main beach area. While it may not boast the best waves in the region, it can deliver enjoyable sessions during significant winter swells. The atmosphere is generally relaxed, especially when other nearby spots are crowded. The spot is also sheltered from wind, enhancing wave quality. It offers a few peaks and a small shore break, making it suitable for groms and bodyboarders looking to improve their skills.
