03 · Location

In context.

A quiet shingle-and-mud-sand Solent foreshore with no surf, where wind funnels reliably between the Isle of Wight and mainland, making it a favoured kitesurfing and windsurfing venue. At low tide shallow tidal pools form, suited to learners; high tide brings choppy water, hidden groynes and submerged rocks. Watersports are zoned to the eastern end, away from the swim area. Dogs are banned on the main beach 1 May to 30 September. No lifeguard service.

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