East Beach

East Beach is a sheltered beach-break located on the UK east coast in a shallow coastal bay with predominantly flat water conditions. The north-south oriented coastline faces east toward open water. The spot is characterized by very small average waves (0.26m) and extremely low wind reliability (24.6%), making it suitable primarily for learning and progression in light winds. The surrounding urban development, groyne structures, and shallow depths create a confined environment. Best wind conditions arrive from the east or west (side-shore to the north-south coastline), with easterly winds being more typical for this location. Water temperatures average 11.8°C year-round, requiring seasonal wetsuits. The spot suits absolute beginners and progression riders seeking flat-water practice in a sheltered environment, but experienced kiters will find conditions frequently unsuitable. Tidal effects are significant given the shallow bay setting. Low wind reliability means extended periods without viable conditions should be expected.
