Very sheltered, sand island that needs a mammoth SW swell coming up the channel for anything to happen. Long stretch of average beachbreaks and a right sand point into the Chichester harbour entrance.
Strong currents. Popular area with windsurfers. Parking by the beach.

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.
