Bracklesham Bay Surf Guide
A continuation of the beach from East Wittering, with similar characteristics so usually its all about the windswell. Better on low tides as high has shingle banks and groynes. Picks up slightly more swell as less blocked by Isle of Wight.
Local Vibe
Chilled, friendly.
Crowd Factor
Less crowded than the Witterings.
Spot Rating
Catch it on a rare, clean groundswell and you'll find surprisingly good waves. Mostly messy but fun.
Shoulder Burn
OK when small, long paddle when bigger.
Water Quality
OK - can be sewage after heavy rains.
Hazards
Groynes, rips.
Access
Small Beachfront car park on East Bracklesham Drive.
Bottom
Sand and pebbles.
