Historical data
Location guide
Clacton-on-Sea, located in the United Kingdom, offers a unique surf scene that any avid surfer should witness. The open expanse makes it a conducive area for experiencing an unblocked wave flow from the North Sea. Generally, Clacton-on-Sea presents various surfing conditions throughout the year. During winter months, the temperatures drop considerably, which may affect the consistency of waves. Generally, the sea tends to be quite choppy, and with stronger winds, it could introduce some challenging conditions for surfing. Moving on to spring and summer, the conditions typically diversify. More often, surf lines tend to display a more organized structure, introducing more surf-friendly conditions. Daylight extends too, allowing more surf time. The wind direction swings to the south and west with a relatively moderate strength, enhancing wave conditions for a more comfortable surfing experience.

In summary, the beautiful Clacton-on-Sea promises a variety of surfing conditions perfect for everyone from beginners to seasoned surfers. The combination of varying wind patterns and tidal movements make it a truly dynamic spot, guaranteeing that no two surfing days will be the same.
