Upton Surf Forecast Guide

Upton is a small-bay spot that serves up a good right and left, breaking over a mix of uneven reef and sand.

When It Works

The bay draws swell from the southwest through northwest (SW-NW), with west swell the best match. It is usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 3 m / 10 ft, giving a solid working window across a range of swell sizes.

Wind and Tide

Look for east offshore wind to clean things up. Upton breaks on low and mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

This is a rarely surfed spot. Passing surfers often stop to watch it, but few actually paddle out, so you can usually expect an empty lineup when it comes to life.

Access

Getting in is tricky, with cliff access down to the bay, and parking nearby is restricted.
