Undercliff Road

Undercliff Road is a south-facing beach break located on the southern English coast along the Channel. The spot features a defined shoreline with substantial coastal defense infrastructure including groynes and a sea wall, which are visible as linear structures extending into the water. The relatively shallow, choppy water conditions suggest limited wave energy and fetch constraints typical of enclosed coastal areas. With an average wind speed of 9.3 knots and only 21.3% wind reliability, this spot requires specific weather windows to be viable. Side-shore conditions from easterly or westerly winds would be preferable, with easterly winds being more consistent with prevailing conditions in this region. The presence of residential development immediately inland and significant coastal structures limits maneuvering space. This spot is best suited for beginners seeking protected conditions with minimal swell, though the infrastructure and shallow water require careful attention to launching and landing zones. Kiters should be aware of potential currents around the groyne systems.
