Kimmeridge Bay (K-Bay) offers a selection of reef breaks with something working pretty much all tides. Intermediate/advanced depending on size and break.
Breaks (W to E):
- The Bench/Broadbench - Fickle, fast, hollow, reef A-frame in an army firing range, so check access online first and flags when you arrive. 20-min walk around bottom of cliffs to W. Mid to high only, dry sucking at low to mid. Experts only.
- The Bay - Slow, crumbly reef A-frame to the middle of the bay, good distance out, best around mid and when other breaks are too big, when it can produce some long rides
- The Ledges - Mellow, long reefs popular with longboarders, accessed by walking round cliffs to E of bay. Good distance paddle out, which can be a mission when big.
- Chapman's can also be worth checking out around mid, though fickle, sketchy, and a trek. Experts only.
Rocks, rips, crowds and tricky access depending on tide and army. Parking above bay
