Very average beachbreak, regarded as the county's premier spot because chalk reefs add some definition to the sandbars. Picks up all swells but best on a N swell and S wind at higher tides.
Banks not as good since the removal of the sewage pipe. Sharp flints on the rocky inside and strong currents undisturbed by groynes. Always crowded. Pay and display car park on cliff.

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.
