Surf Kimmeridge Bay (Bench)

Kimmeridge Bay (Bench) - Dorset, England Kimmeridge Bay features a reef break with both right and left-hand waves, characterized by flat rocks on the bottom. The waves can be hollow, fast, and powerful, making it a world-class surf spot on its best days. It works best at low and mid tide, particularly during falling tide conditions. This surf spot, located within the Smedmore Estate, is accessible via a toll road leading to a car park just a minute's walk from the slipway. Kimmeridge Bay offers a mix of reef and beach breaks, catering to various surfing styles, from shortboards to longboards. While the bay is the safest option, caution is advised due to nearby rocks and strong rips, especially at Broad Bench and the Ledges, which can produce larger surf. Expect a vibrant local scene, but be prepared for crowds on good surf days.
