Sat 20 & Sun 21 June 2026

No suitable sessions either day — Saturday light SW ~6 kt with rain, Sunday light E ~9 kt — both well below the 15 kt kiteability threshold within 2 hours of London. The action is midweek.

Page updated 15 June 2026 19:38 GMT · Forecast data 15 June 2026 19:16 GMT · Tide data 15 June 2026 19:16 GMT — live data from Windguru (UKV 2km / AROME / GFS / IFS). Always verify and check the latest Windguru forecast which we link to for each spot with the 💨 icon.

Next weekend — Sat 20 & Sun 21 June. The latest model run has both days going quiet — Saturday light SW ~6 kt with rain, Sunday light E ~9 kt also with showers around. Nothing clears the 15 kt kiteability threshold within 2 hours of London on either day. The real opportunities this week are midweek: a marginal E window today (Mon 15 Jun) at Walpole Bay 💨 and Uncle Tom’s Cabin 💨, then SW sessions Tue and Wed with Camber Sands 💨 leading and Littlehampton 💨 and Hillhead 💨 in play. Always verify Windguru before heading out.

🌅 Sunrise ~04:43 BST  ·  🌇 Sunset ~21:22 BST. A more limited weekend on tide too: high water lands mid-to-late afternoon both days (Sat HW ~16:25, Sun HW ~17:05 at the south-coast spots), so the low-tide spots would work best early or late — but with light winds either side of that, the tide is academic this weekend. Saturday 20 June: SW ~6 kt with rain — no kiteable spots within 2 hours of London. Sunday 21 June: E ~9 kt with showers — light all day, and the E direction would be offshore at several south-coast spots even if it had been stronger. Midweek is where the action is — E Mon 15 Jun (Walpole Bay ★, Uncle Tom’s ★½), SW Tue 16 Jun (Camber ★★½, Littlehampton ★½), SW Wed 17 Jun ⚠ gusty (Camber ★½, East Wittering ★). See the 7-day forecast and the spot comparison for per-spot detail. Always verify and check the latest Windguru forecast which we link to for each spot with the (💨) icon.

Mon 15 Jun — today, marginal: E 14–20 kt 16:00–20:00 BST — Walpole Bay 💨 ★ leads on the easterly (side-on at Margate), with Uncle Tom’s Cabin 💨 ★½, East Beach 💨 ★ and Frinton-on-Sea 💨 ★ also working the late-afternoon E window. Worth flagging if you can get out late today. Tue 16 Jun — marginal: SW 14–21 kt 12:00–19:00 BST — Camber Sands 💨 ★★½ is the standout, with Littlehampton 💨 ★½, Calshot Spit 💨 ★ ⚠ gusty and Bracklesham Bay 💨 ★ all on the afternoon SW. Wed 17 Jun — marginal, ⚠ gusty: SW 13–21 kt 09:00–16:00 BST — Camber Sands ★½ leads, with East Wittering 💨 ★ also working the SW window. Size down hard if you take it on. Thu 18 Jun — light: SSW ~6 kt with rain — no kiteable spots within 2 hours of London. Fri 19 Jun — light: SW ~8 kt with rain — no kiteable spots within 2 hours of London.

🌧️ Saturday 20 June — light SW with rain

No suitable sessions — SW ~6 kt with rain through the day, below the kiteability threshold everywhere within 2 hours of London.

A light SW with rain bands — nothing clears 15 kt in any working tide window at the regular spots (peaks sit around 7–10 kt at the best spots and average below 7 kt). No rated sessions; sit Saturday out and watch the WhatsApp group in case the models firm up later in the week. HW lands ~16:25 BST mid-afternoon, so the low-tide spots would have wanted an early or late session anyway. The real opportunities this week are midweek (Mon E, Tue/Wed SW).

🌞️ Sunday 21 June — light E with showers

No suitable sessions — E ~9 kt with showers, below the kiteability threshold; also offshore at most south-coast spots even if it had been stronger.

A light easterly with showers throughout — peaks sit around 10–13 kt at the best spots, well under the 15 kt session threshold, and average wind sits around 7–9 kt. The E direction is also offshore at several of the regular south-coast spots (Cooden, East Wittering, Goring, Hillhead) so even a stronger E wind would have ruled those out. No rated sessions; HW lands mid-afternoon around 17:05 BST, but with the wind this light the tide is academic. Check back closer to the day as the models firm up.
