The stretch from Long Branch down to Loch Arbour through the ritzy and architecturally-diverse suburb of Deal provides some good jetty surf. The left at The Cove in Allenhurst has steep, bowly sections on a NE swell at low.
Always crowded in the tight take-off zone, despite a complete lack of parking in the area. Try the main street, 1/2mi (0.8km) away. Has a private swim club feel in summer.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
