Crane Beach surf guide

Crane Beach is a surf spot located near an industrial park, giving it a unique backdrop. The beach itself features an exposed cobblestone headland with a few rocks around, making it a distinctive place to catch some waves. Access can feel a bit odd due to the setting, but it’s worth checking out the surf conditions here.

The surf at Crane Beach works best with a northwest swell, but it can also handle northeast swells. Waves typically break over boulders and can range in size from around 2ft (0.6 meters) and up. The break offers a decent left-hander, with two sections to play with, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. It's a good spot for different tide heights since it works during low, mid, and high tides. For the best experience, check it out when the wind is coming from the south.

Just a heads up, keep an eye out for the poles in the shorebreak as you’re getting in and out of the water. They can catch you off guard if you're not paying attention. Overall, Crane Beach provides a solid surf experience, especially for those looking for left breaks and good wave action.
