Kent's main surf spot, the hub of surfing in the area since the ?60s has L/R peaks over sandbars and chalk reefs. Best in strong N swells but works on windswell from many directions. Can be rippy and reefs can get shallow.
Car park 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.
