East Wittering

★ Marginal
Wind W, 18–28 kt
Window 15:00–17:00 BST
Tides HW 05:35 / LW 11:30 / HW 18:15 BST

Marginal — large kites (15 m+)/foil kites, big boards, and gusty. A short 15:00–17:00 BST window ahead of the 18:15 high — no kiting within 2.5 h of high water there (no usable beach). Overcast.

Goring

★ Marginal
Wind W, 18–28 kt
Window 15:00–16:00 BST
Tides HW 05:25 / LW 11:35 / HW 18:05 BST

Marginal — large kites (15 m+)/foil kites, big boards. Best 15:00–16:00 BST, timed to duck the 11:30 low — sharp rocks and mussel bed are exposed there, so it's a mid-tide window, not a low-tide one. Overcast.

Marginal — large kites (15 m+)/foil kites, big boards, and gusty. Best window 14:00–15:30 BST; rideable but discouraged from around 15:30 as the 18:00 high approaches — groynes exposed around high water (or Shoreham next door — easy access by train). Partly cloudy.
