WEST WITTERING - Sussex

West Wittering is an interesting place to sail, offering both flat-water and waves, but you need to be a member of WWWC to windsurf there during the summer months (Kitesurfers must be members to sail at ANY time of the year). Ample car parking is available right next to the beach, as is a dedicated grass rigging area. The car-park gets VERY busy though, even over the winter.

Flat Water: YES (Lagoon at low tide) Waves: YES (Best at tigh tide) Beach: Shingle & Sand Wind Directions : SE-NW N-E Car parking : YES (£2 - £4) Toilets : YES Café : unknown Nearest Shop : 2XS Wind information can be found here. Tide information can be found here. The sandbanks and the low-tide lagoon (the dark patch of sea) can be clearly seen in the aerial photo. These give the beach its unique ability to provide conditions suitable for beginners through to experts depending on the state of the tide. See the West Wittering Windsurfing Club site (WWWC) for further information.
