East Wittering

East Wittering is a sandy beach break located on the south coast of England facing south into the English Channel. The shallow, gently sloping beach with visible sandbar formations creates protected conditions suitable for learning and progression. The spot experiences modest wind reliability at 27% and relatively weak average winds of 9.8 knots, requiring patience for rideable conditions. Water temperatures average 11.9°C, necessitating winter wetsuits in colder months. The side-shore winds from the east provide the safest launching and landing conditions along this beach. Average wave heights of 0.63m are small by most standards, making this spot ideal for beginner and early-intermediate kiters seeking calm, forgiving conditions. The developed residential area immediately behind the beach indicates established facilities and regular visitor traffic. Best conditions occur during easterly wind swells when wind strength exceeds typical averages. This location suits younger riders, complete beginners, and those seeking mild-mannered sessions over challenging progression. Water clarity and chop characteristics typical of the English Channel should be expected.
