Description
Seaside Reef - South Cardiff State Beach
Seaside Reef features a rocky reef break with both left and right waves, predominantly working at low tide. The bottom consists of sandy areas interspersed with rocks, creating hollow, fast, and powerful waves. This spot is known for its fun shorebreak and can handle a crowd of up to 20 surfers due to its small take-off zone.
Located just off Highway 101, Seaside Reef is easily accessible with a large parking lot and facilities. The wave quality varies, but it can produce decent conditions, especially with north to southwest swells. The atmosphere is competitive, attracting experienced surfers, including local legends. Be cautious of the rocks and the aggressive vibe, particularly during peak times. The east wind is ideal for shaping the waves, making this spot a must-visit for those seeking thrilling surf experiences.
