Seaford

Seaford Beach is a south-facing shingle and sand beach located on the English Channel coast in East Sussex. The spot features a wide, gently sloping beach with organized infrastructure including groynes and sea defenses visible in the imagery. The water body is the English Channel, characterized by rough-chop conditions and moderate tidal ranges. Seaford suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to its sheltered nature and accessible beach entry. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds providing side-shore flow. The spot experiences low wind reliability at 33.3%, with average winds of 10.6 knots and modest wave heights around 1.07 meters. The area is heavily developed with residential properties and recreational facilities, meaning the beach attracts numerous swimmers and beachgoers, particularly in summer months. Water temperature averages 12°C year-round. Kiters should be aware of tidal movements, shallow water close to shore, and the presence of beach users. The protected nature of the bay makes it less ideal for advanced kiters seeking challenging conditions, but suitable for progression and skill development.
