Historical data

Location guide

Surfing conditions at Southend in the United Kingdom fall into the category of beginner/intermediate territory. Located along the EastCoast, Southend isn't known for constant gigantic swells that hardcore surfers yearn for, but that doesn't mean it doesn't offer its own charm and surfing potential. The sea here is generally calm, making it an ideal setting for those seeking to gain confidence on their board or simply enjoy a relaxing day on the water. The region’s primary surfing season ranges from Autumn through Winter, owing to the weather and sea conditions that allow for the occasional swell. Given its geographical location, Southend doesn't receive the full brunt of the Atlantic swells like Cornwall or Bournemouth, meaning wave heights generally stay in the one-to-three foot range. This creates a perfect environment for novices to take their first steps in the world of surfing. The tide plays a significant role in shaping the surfing conditions in Southend. Optimum surfing conditions occur about an hour or so before high tide. Once the tide hits its peak, there is often a 'push' that creates more rideable waves. Additionally, it's always worth keeping a close eye on the wind direction. Ideally, light southerly winds are favourable to create the best conditions at this location. In terms of water temperature, it's important to note that the waters along the Eastern coast of England can get quite chilly, especially outside the summer months. A quality wetsuit that suits the season's water temperature would undoubtedly improve a surfer's experience in Southend. While Southend may not boast the kind of powerful waves that professional surfers seek, its pleasant, manageable conditions make it an ideal locale to learn the basics and enjoy some laid-back surfing. Surfers of all levels can enjoy what Southend has to offer as they get in sync with the rhythm of the sea and the relatively understated charm of the town's wave offerings.
