03 · Location

In context.

A shingle resort beach on the South East coast, divided by wooden groynes, with sand visible only at low tide. Facing south-east, it is sheltered from prevailing swells but can produce beach-break waves on rare S-SSW swells with offshore northerly wind; conditions otherwise suit windsurfing and kitesurfing more than surfing. Between the Wish Tower and Pier, a bathing zone restricts entry to hand-powered craft at 8 knots.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
