Historical data
Location guide
West Wittering is known for its wide and open sandy beach where the surfs break. The expansive beach provides ample space for surfers to navigate the water with relative ease and exhilarating satisfaction. The area is also well-maintained, making it an ideal spot for both beginners and experienced surfers alike. However, it should be noted that appropriate beachwear is recommended due to the temperate climate that often dips in the cooler ranges. A significant factor influencing the surfing experience at West Wittering is the tidal range which significantly affects the size and power of the waves. The wave sizes tend to be small to medium, making it decent for intermediate surfers and safe for beginners practicing their sport.

This adds to the overall surfing experience, making it enjoyable not just for the surf but also for the views and the atmosphere.

In conclusion, the surfing conditions at West Wittering can fluctuate greatly depending on tide and wind, but the clean beach and ample space make it an ideal location for various skill levels.
