🏄 Yes — you really can kitesurf from London
Many people come to drinks and say “I kitesurf but I left my gear at home because I didn’t think I could kite near London.” We always say the same thing: London is a fantastic place to kitesurf. Within two hours of central London you can ride on any wind direction and any tide level — from the legendary flat water at Uncle Tom’s to waves on the south coast, and spots with miles of waist-deep water just waiting to be enjoyed.
Yes, it’s colder than the tropics — but modern wetsuits are incredible, and a well-fitting suit with boots means you can kitesurf all year round. There are hundreds of keen kite surfers heading to the beach most weekends, and even in March we have had 20+ people at the same beach, riding together and meeting for food and drinks after. An amazing way to make new friends and enjoy a brilliant sport.

A light weekend for the tide-timed crowd. Saturday: East Wittering and Littlehampton (★½) share the best window as SW fills in for the evening low. Sunday backs ENE/E — Pevensey Bay (★★) is the standout, a full band above Greatstone and the rest of the ★ group. Don’t miss today (Tuesday) either — a marginal SSE session at Walpole Bay (★★).
Always verify and check the latest Windguru forecast which we link to for each spot with the 💨 icon. Full forecast & tide times →
