Popular mid-Sussex spot between Bexhill and Eastbourne. Shingle beach at high tide giving way to sandy open beach at low tide; a sandbank at low tide flattens the water and reduces chop. Works best in SW and S (S gives better waves over the sandbar); also rideable in SE, NE, and E at higher tides. Home base of Be-Rad Watersports.

Wind scale:<1010–1112–1314–1516–1920–2930+ kt ⚠
Multi-model composite: the first 60 hours come from AROME-FR 1.3km and UKV 2km (AROME first, UKV filling its gaps); beyond 60 h the best available of HARM-DK 2km → ICON 2.2km → Zephr-HD 2.6km → IFS-HRES 9km → GFS 13km extends the table to the end of day 7. Temperature blended from GFS. Tides from UKHO Admiralty (BST, 7-day window). Always verify on Windguru.

Pick a past day to compare three things: the forecast we published (frozen before each hour, never revised afterwards), the wind that actually happened (Open-Meteo reanalysis, hours 05:00–21:00 UK), and what the live weather stations near the spot actually recorded (amber, from 2 Aug 2026). You can go right up to today — today shows the forecast and the live stations; the reanalysis for today lands tomorrow morning.
