Camber Dunes

Camber Dunes is located on the south coast of England facing south into the English Channel. The spot features a shallow bay with extensive tidal flats and sandbars visible in the satellite imagery, creating a protected but complex water environment. The nearshore area shows characteristic sand bar formations and tidal patterns typical of this coastline. The spot is sheltered by its south-facing orientation and proximity to land, making it relatively protected from larger ocean swells. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that blow side-shore across the bay. The low wind reliability (24%) and modest average wave height (0.85m) indicate this is primarily a lighter-wind, flat-water spot suited to beginners and progression riders. Water temperatures average around 11.6°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection year-round. The shallow tidal environment demands awareness of changing water depths and current patterns. Residential development nearby means potential congestion during peak seasons. This spot works best during specific tidal windows when water depth is adequate across the riding area.
