Coalcliff Surf Guide

Coalcliff is usually a relatively average beachbreak that can be fun and peaky on the right conditions. There's also a fickle left reef bombie at the northern end of the beach that breaks over a shallow rock ledge on longer period southeast to northeast swells. Coalcliff does offer some protection from southerly winds. The south end reef or rock ledge is quite fickle, but will occasionally turn on.
