Birling Gap Wing Foil Forecast

Birling Gap scores 81/100 for wing foil today at its best ability level (advanced). The beach faces SW. A dramatic, remote shingle-and-chalk-reef beach below tall chalk cliffs, within a Marine Conservation Zone with a no-take intertidal zone. The reef break is small, inconsistent, best with SW swell and offshore NE wind, used by surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers; submerged rocks are the main hazard, plus weever fish in the sand. Only accessible around low tide - the sea reaches the cliff base at high water. No lifeguard; steps may close after cliff falls.
