Upton is a surf spot located in a small bay that offers a bit of everything, but you need to be aware that it can be tricky to access due to the surrounding cliffs. While it doesn’t see a lot of surf traffic, it’s watched by passing surfers who might be curious about what’s happening in the water. Just a heads-up, there's no parking nearby, so plan ahead for your trip.

This spot works best with swells coming from the west, but it can handle some action from the southwest and northwest as well. Upton is in the 2ft (0.6m) range, so it’s a good choice for those smaller days. The waves break over a mixture of uneven reef and sand, and you can catch both lefts and rights here. The ideal wind is coming from the east, and the best tides to hit are low to mid, so time your session accordingly for the best results.

While the surf can be fun when the conditions align, keep in mind that this spot isn’t super popular, so it could be a bit lonely out there. Just make sure you’ve got the right conditions before heading out, and you might score some decent waves without much competition.
