Park in Westward HO! and try to walk southerly along the shore for about as long as it takes to see an epic wave of your choice. Alternatively get a map and work your way to Greencliff farm in Greencliff near Abbotsham. Follow the coast path until you strike gold.
This area is like a very large beach like watergate except the beach is boulder based and there is a very large undulating wave cut platform which is exposed at low tide. As this is covered the reef will start to work in different ways, there are choices of numerous A frame peaks as well as left and right point breaks there are all sorts of peaks from the dangerous spitters to the fat dross. This place is well worth a look just to see it happen. It is quite sheltered but picks up a lot of swell nonetheless. The abrupt finish of the platform means the waves come in with power and speed and at high tide there is a boulder closeout to contend with.
Overview
Atmosphere
This is very East Coast in appearance. It is pretty bleak and a weird place to have so close to us here. It is a bitch to find and if you get in trouble you will be doing it by yourself.

joel @ the ho!
only lived at the ho! a year or so and surfed the cliffs 3 times and on the 3rd time i ended up firing liquid from both ends and then the girlfriend caught it and had to go to hospital with "abdominal spasms". so wouldnt really recommend this break. Its about a half hour walk and localised.so to be honest id go to sandymouth or just surf the beach at ho!The cliffs are already busy enough with angry braindead locals so no need to upset them anymore. And the insults on here are sad really cheer up or just hurry up and throw yourself off bideford bridge
