Overcombe

Overcombe is a sheltered beach break located along the Dorset coast in southern England, facing south toward the English Channel. The spot is characterized by a sandy beach with moderate protection from nearby headlands and residential development. The immediate offshore zone contains shallow water and sandbanks that limit wave development but provide predictable conditions. Water conditions are typically rough-chop rather than organized swell, with average wave heights around 1 meter. Wind reliability is modest at 33%, with average winds of 10.5 knots requiring patience for suitable sessions. The spot suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking protected, predictable conditions over raw power. Easterly or westerly winds provide side-shore orientation. Primary considerations include shallow water requiring awareness of depth, rocky sections on the western flank, and the constrained nature of the beach setting. The spot works best during tide windows that maximize water depth over sandbanks.
