About This Spot
Bognor Regis is a sheltered beach break on the English south coast facing south toward the English Channel. The spot features a sandy beach backed by a developed residential and commercial promenade, with a pier visible to the east. The relatively flat terrain and gentle slope make it accessible for learning, though shallow water extends some distance offshore. Wind reliability is poor at 29.3%, with average winds of 10.1 knots being marginal for kitesurfing. Water conditions are consistently choppy due to fetch limitations and the sheltered bay configuration. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (side-shore), providing parallel coast wind flow. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, flat-water conditions in light winds. Key considerations include shallow water requiring careful launch/landing, beach user congestion during summer months, and the need to time sessions around improved wind windows. Winter months typically offer better wind consistency.
