West Wittering Surf Guide
This huge stretch of sandy beach joins up with East Wittering and is more in the swell shadow of the Isle of Wight. Needs a really big swell to wrap in here, and is popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers for a reason. However, it can offer some long, rolling, wind swell waves. Better at low tides. Easy parking just behind beach.
